Today’s Shot 31
Throwback Thursday
First Published on December 16th, 2019.
Some pilgrimages are not through wooded glades of soft, filtered light with the sound of a gently-flowing fountain in the background. Some are rugged and stark landscapes that may, at first, appear barren. We face many different kinds of terrain in our journeys throughout life. Some are zen, while others seem desolate – yet they teach lessons that we couldn’t learn anywhere else on earth. 🦂 And, some give us a view we’d have never seen through the trees.

The scorpions scuttle and the eagle flies the big open sky today. A reminder that not all pilgrimages are beautiful in the same way.

According to the Reno Gazette Journal and the Las Vegas Sun, Nevada’s largest Joshua tree (called the Monument Tree) stands 24-feet tall. This makes it the third-largest Joshua tree in the world. It is estimated to be 700-800 years old.
Even though I haven’t gotten to see the Monument Tree, I enjoyed visiting a little while with some of its smaller family members not far from Goldfield, NV.
The Joshua Tree is a member of the Agave family.

Nevada
I think for some this view would seem desolate. People chuckle when I tell them that the state tree of Nevada is the telephone pole… until they see my pictures. My mother (watching a tumbleweed roll) would say, “You would have to be born here to appreciate this!”
As far as the eye can see there is not a single tree in sight. But what a sight! It’s wide open spaces and quiet places where the Indian Paintbrush and Sage whisper together in breezes that never seem to still their movement.
It’s the landscape that will always be where the sand in my lungs came from – called Nevada, and the desert called Home.
