The California Desert can be a magical place… and it exists only for me. In reality, there are two deserts in Southern California - the high Mojave Desert where you find Joshua Tree National Park. And the lower, drier, Colorado Desert which is in California and part of the overall Sonoran Desert. This lower Sonoran Desert in Southern California has a very distinct look to it. And, it’s a land of contradictions. It’s a desert, yet there is so much life and vitality. It’s dry, yet in the late winter of 2026 we were treated to more flowers and green grass than I have ever seen in a desert. I have visited it several times already and hope to see it again and again… and record the images that convey how this unique desert feels to me.
