Today I will continue with my day 3 photos from Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, CA. I will call the park Huntington Library for short. The photos from Huntington Library will be split into 4 parts, this is part 4 of the photos from Huntington Library, however it is also part 11 of the photos from my Southern California trip.

Most of the photos for today are shot at the Desert Garden in Huntington Library. Here is the photos photo from the garden. I think the above is called a Joshua Tree (Yucca brevifolia).

Father Crowley Point/Mojave Desert - Death Valley National Park (Part 41)

At the end of November last year (2012), I took a trip to Death Valley National Park. This is the second trip there in my life. The 1st time I went, I was still a little kid, and I didn't start taking photos yet. This time, I have a pro camera and I am ready to shoot the scenery. Death Valley National Park is known for its "out of this world" scenery, UFO sightings, and many other things. The desert is a very mysterious and beautiful place. In this chain of blog posts, I will be showing you mainly photos of Death Valley National Park, but also photos from surrounding areas like The Mojave Desert, Alabama Hills, and Rhyolite Ghost Town. I have picked out over 400 photos from my trip to show you guys and I will be dividing them into many blog posts. Unlike blog  post chains before, I obviously can't put a link of ever blog post on every single blog post, so instead, I will do the same thing I did for my Yellowstone National Park photos before, by sticking a link of the Next and Previous post on each blog post instead.

Full Resolution Photos and Prints: If you want to see full resolution photos or buy prints of any of the photos you see, they are up on my portfolio for viewing.
