I have long been intrigued by Joshua trees. Surely, in part, because of their interesting shape, but probably more so because U2 has an album called The Joshua Tree. There is a national park called Joshua Tree in southern California. I considered going to it, but I opted instead for the Mojave Desert where I saw the Joshua tree in this picture. These trees are technically called Yucca. They were given a Biblical nickname by a Mormon who encountered them and associated their uplifted branches with Joshua praying.
