GRAPEVINE CANYON
I visited a canyon on the next day, but on the way stopped by this Joshua Tree preserve that I like to visit whenever I'm in the Silver State.

Say's Stink Bug (Chlorochroa sayi).

The Mojave Desert has a surprising amount of junk that can be found at random places, like this desert couch.

Speckled Rattlesnake.

The snake in its "natural habitat."

Black-throated Sparrows are very common.

Zebra-tail Lizard.

The smallest Glossy Snake I've ever found, probably one of last year's hatchlings.

California Barrel Cactus.

A Spiny Lizard/Chuckwalla combo.
