Fearless Travel

The other side of California’s beauty is as far removed from the ocean - both geographically and aesthetically - as possible and still remain in the state. THe Mojave Desert is a place of incredible temperatures and stunning beauty. A former co-worker of mine goes out to the Mojave every spring and takes pictures of the flora that flourishes there after the winter rains. Also, she occasionally finds pictoglyphs left by the area’s first inhabitants, the Mojave tribe of Native Americans. They are essentially extinct as an independent tribe, but they lived in the desert for hundreds of years until the Spanish missionaries came (and accidently brought small pox). So, here are some beautiful pictures of life in the deserts of California. I hop you enjoy.

As always, I look forward to comments or requests
