Mojave Desert Plants
This portfolio includes photos of desert plant and flowers from the Mojave Desert, with a focus on Death Valley National Park. Learning about and engaging with plant life is one of the primary ways I connect with the places I photograph. In the case of Death Valley, getting to know and love these plants has helped me understand the landscape and what it takes to survive, even thrive, in this harsh environment. Many first-time visitors to the park see it as a lifeless place. If you look beyond those first impressions, the Mojave Desert is full of life. This portfolio celebrates some of the plants that call the region home. Click here to return to my portfolio homepage.
