  1. Spurges are generally pretty weird in my opinion, and the aptly-named Beetle Spurge (Euphorbia eriantha) justly earns a spot in the top part of the list.

    Maybe it's alien and should be called UFOrbia? 😅

    Photographed in southern Anza Borrego Desert State Park, California.

  2. "Endless Beauty" — more #SaturdayScenery and this time, on the correct day of the week too! In my time zone, at least... 😜

  3. "High Above Nowhere"

    For #MountainMonday I have this photo from one of my desert hikes in January this year, looking back south from the approach to Pyramid Peak in the Santa Rosa Mountains, which mark the boundary between San Diego County and Riverside County to the north. The San Diego side is part of Anza Borrego Desert State Park. Didn't see a single person all day (which is the best part about many desert hikes😉).

  4. Baileya pauciradiata (Colorado Desert Marigold, Laxflower) which I photographed in near Borrego Springs in March 2024.

    My endless backlog of plant photos currently consists of ~900 photos with identified species that "just" need keywords, titles, captions, alt-text. And then many more with photos that are in a worse state (need culling, identification, editing). Good thing it's hot and the weather isn't interesting either right now... 🥴

    I was out in the Anza-Borrego desert around Hawi Vallecitoa while back and came across some potsherds. Not at all unusual in a land that's been home and hearth for thousands of years. This one was a bit different. If you look carefully, you can see the maker's thumb print. Holding it, feeling the touch of a long-dead fellow was a moving experience.

    I left it where it belonged.

    The Pumpkin Patch
    - Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, CA

    Likely around 2001, way before the area was fenced. We should go back sometime soon 🤔

  7. LA Times: Should a high-voltage power line run through California’s largest state park? Critics are furious

    "The proposed 140-mile, 500-kilovolt Golden Pacific Powerlink from San Diego Gas & Electric would cut through California’s largest state park, Anza-Borrego."

  8. Una Palma
    - Anza Borrego Desert State Park, CA

    Does this palm tree still stand? 🤔
    By the way, we expect a lot of snow this coming weekend here in PA ❄️

    Somehow, this reminded me of the area I used to explore 🤔 I stayed away, though…

  11. Headed to the land of the lost. Gonna see land without development. #AnzaBorrego

  12. Some kind of bellie flower, near Yaqui Pass Camp, ABDSP. #wildflowers #AnzaBorrego I don't know every flower... Honestly my wife taught me most of them. Nevertheless a wild wildflower season here.

  13. The desert wildflowers are blooming again around Borrego Springs. I went out last weekend with my Sony A6600 and insta360 X3 to get a few shots.
