Description
Desert Dandelion wildflowers and a Desert Ironwood tree at Joshua Tree National Park. This is a monochrome (B&W) rendition.
This is a companion to a similar photo from Joshua Tree National Park I posted some time ago, showing a carpet of Desert Dandelion wildflowers (Malacothrix glabrata) providing a nice foreground for a showy Desert Ironwood tree (Olneya tesota) and the hills beyond. This picture has a much larger expanse of Wildflowers. There is a lone Lupine wildflower in the foreground.
The Desert Ironwood tree can reach heights of about 30 ft, and average trunk diameters of up to 24 in. Its leaves are bluish-green and pinnately compound. They are arranged on a petiole, 6 in, long, with 6-9 leaflets, each being 0.3 to 1 in. At the base of each pinnate leaf petiole grow two thorns, about 0.4 in long.
Although JTNP is well known mainly for Joshua Trees, Ironwood trees are also quite prevalent especially in desert washes of the Park and provide a nice dynamical contrast to wildflowers. They also have fascinating shapes, each with its own 'personality' and a unique pose, as in this photo.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.
