CA 190

After the Vista Point we drove a few miles on yet another one of those many, many marvelous American roads, this time California route 190. Going through a dry, desert landscape over the mountain and then down towards the fertile valley with the Sierra Nevada mountains in front is breathtakingly beautiful. In addition we saw this Joshua tree by the side of the road that was just begging to be photographed. So we obliged.

On the other side of the road was a steep, rocky hill. At the bottom of it grew tiny greenish flowers.

And some blue ones.

Dried up cacti. Probably dead from the looks of 'em but you never know in these parts.
