Bighorn sheep sighting, Joshua Tree NP

On a pleasant, (especially for early Sept.), Saturday afternoon, our guests caught a few rare glimpses of the noble Bighorn, that frequent one of our hiking spots.  Since it's still summer, they don't wander too far from one of the very few water sources in the park.

The park has been blessed with a few, very strong thunderstorms this summer, evidenced by a few "spring" flowers, as well as the pleasant autumn pastel-colored flowers, that give the park a subtle & peaceful glow.
