Seems like every time I go exploring I find that someone has walked out of one shoe.

3rd up from the last on DK's last post--------I have camped in that exact spot several times over the many years, gazing at the 100's of Blue Palms across the wash and on the surrounding slopes.

Paradise!!!

The thousands of blue palms on the slope of the canyon are pretty amazing... El Berrendo off Valle Chico, north of Matomí.

Jim, a huge photo... Please tell us what is it showing, exactly?

OK, Ed, you get a pass... (isn't a desert!) :biggrin:

Here is a favorite boojum tree (or pair of boojums) of mine:

2012:

2016:

I call them the 'Dancing Boojums', located between Calamajué Canyon and El Crucero.

Just my opinion, but an automobile in the middle of a nice natural
Baja scene ruins the picture.

Morning DK !

This is my favorite Baja pic...could you post for me ?

THANKS

Mando

AKA MOTHERSHIP

North end of Smith Island (Isla Coronado), Bahía de los Angeles

The way most of us get a close look at Smith Island is from the La Gringa area... This is from November 2006 after we helped Baja Pits for the 1000, at El Crucero:

Don't see too many bird of paradise plants in a desert (unless planted and irrigated there)! Is this in the Todos Santos area?

Howard - 4-18-2020 at 02:14 PM

There might be some at Jardines.

David K - 4-18-2020 at 02:18 PM

I think there are... but I am hoping for more 'desert' photos.
Thanks for playing... :light:

Great pics. Looking for one also. Page 1 fish - wow! Unless its an optical illusion - what kind of fish is that monster?

David K - 4-19-2020 at 10:26 AM

Yes great additions today, Nomads!!!
white whale, the dead fish in Stuck Sucks photo appears to me to be a triggerfish.

Thought Baja was desert. Most of it at least.

Bird of paradise at Pescadero la playa. (These in a garden.)

Class in session. Thank you!

From Wiki P :

While several species from this family are popular in the marine aquarium trade, they are often notoriously ill-tempered

The stone triggerfish (Pseudobalistes naufragium) is the largest species of triggerfish. It is found at reefs and over sandy bottoms in the east Pacific, ranging from Baja California (Mexico) to Chile.[1] It can reach 1 metre (3.3 ft) in length, but is more common at about half that size.[1]

Sweet maria !

David K - 4-19-2020 at 10:49 AM

Nope, 'Baja' is the nickname for a peninsula... It has pine-forest covered mountains from 5,000 to over 10,000 feet, with snow, and coastal shrub and oak hills, too.

It is indeed mostly desert from San Quintín to La Paz, however! >>>
