Beautiful and bold. It's quite the marvel that the desert lily has found ways to survive even in summer. #DesertLily #VisitCADeserts

Only in California will you find colors like this in the desert. We are patiently counting down the days until the next super bloom season 🤩 #VisitCADeserts

Our first night out on the Badwater salt flats last month had clouds obscuring the galactic center until just before twilight. Better late than never! https://t.co/CjX6BwR81S #California #MilkyWay #darksky #NightPhotography #DeathValley #DarkSkyPark

Arch Rock in Joshua Tree National Park: a favorite location of many Milky Way photographers, and with good reason!

Fossil Falls is a unique geological feature, formed out of volcanic rock by glaciers after the ice age and located in the Coso mountain range east of Death Valley.

The Tehachapi Loop on the Union Pacific Railroad Mojave Subdivision was built to spread the incline out over a longer distance. Engineering FTW. #VisitCADeserts

The Tehachapi Loop on the Union Pacific Railroad Mojave Subdivision. Just a big loop to spread the incline over a larger distance.

The best place to see a zillion stars is in the dark skies of the California desert above Joshua Tree National Park. #VisitCADeserts #darkskies #starrynight #joshuatreenationalpark

What does the Orion Nebula look like through a telescope? This photo is very close to how it appears in the eyepiece! The blue-green gas cloud is one of most spectacular objects in the night sky.

Desert iguanas, found in the Mojave and Sonoran CA deserts change color to regulate body temperature. Their skin lightens over the day to nearly white to reflect the sunlight and withstand temperatures up to 115. It's a reverse suntan! #VisitCADeserts #nature #mojavedesert

[Weird Animals @Weird_AnimaIs]

The desert iguana of the Sonoran and Mojave deserts grows to 61 cm.

The subtle winter Milky Way is best seen in January and shows itself well from the darkness of the Mojave desert.
