Desertscape Photography

in photography •  7 years ago 

My wife's parents live about an hour away from us and we went to their house today as there was a funeral for a family friend that we all went to. Their house is located in an area of Southern California known as the "high desert".

From where I live, it is less than an hour's drive to the beach, mountains or desert, so there is a lot of climate and landscape variety in a short distance.

Whenever we visit, I am always captivated by the desert, particularly the rock formations that form small hills and mini mountains, perhaps because it is so different from what I normally experience.

I was able to take a few pictures of the landscape today while trying to keep Kendra entertained and happy during the memorial service. Jacob was watched by his great grandma who also lives in the area, but Kendra is just too small to have someone watch, so we took her with us.

Here are a few pictures we snapped:

We explored the area a little while getting the pictures, however, true to its reputation, the desert was hot and we ended up needing to cool off in the air conditioned car for a while. I think Kendra had a good time, and it was certainly a great bonding experience!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

Hello how are you, happy always to read about your family, the photos are great in venezuela we have desert is called Medanos de Coro is only tourist but it is great, when the journey to a place is so beautiful the tour is much more fun and you say It was worth coming here

Hello my friend @brian.rrr. You see that the road to get to your parents' house is very beautiful, I like those pictures because you can see the sun shining and the sky very blue, besides the desert with the mountains looks very good in the photos captured by you. Without a doubt, it should be a joy for your family and for you when they are on their way to the "high desert", since it has many beautiful things of nature to observe while you are in the car. Thank you for these wonderful photos and for the writing in the post I am very well also, as always well written and expressed from your heart the words of your publications. Greetings and I hope also allas had a nice weekend.

How are you friend? If that is a very varied place in terms of climate and spaces that you can find, beautiful photos and I'm glad that Kendra enjoyed it looks very beautiful @brian.rrr

Oh I'm very sorry.
I see that even so they had a nice time and so to be able to distract Kendra, distracting the children is a very difficult job and can also tire you.

Beautiful place I like that water fountain
