Joshua
Trees in Fog
Southern
California’s winter storms rarely make it past the numerous
mountain barriers to visit the deserts. But in December 1992 —
a year of extraordinary weather in the Southland — a storm
which caused flooding in Los Angeles made it all the way into the
Mojave, where I was camping. At Joshua Tree National Monument, it
created a scene of unequalled beauty: a rare confluence of low clouds
and high desert, sprinkled by a nearly constant light rain. Pools
formed on the granite piles, and water dripped from the red-top
buckwheat. I was priviledged to be there to see this ethereal landscape.
