This afternoon's view from Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. The spindly plants in the foreground are ocotillo and are trees - not cacti. After the rain last week, the ocotillo have some nice orange blooms on them. These mountains are to the north.
My exploration of these ancient Indian cave paintings in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. These are pictographs and - unlike petroglyphs which are carved - they are painted using pigments and often multicolored. Most notable here is the blue sun. From what I've learned, blue is a rare pigment for this sort of thing. The remote location and shade from the sun have managed to keep these paintings looking good after many years. These cave paintings are believed to be over 2000 years old.
