Scott Calhoun's narrative of his trip to Lancaster to photograph wildflowers was a very entertaining read. Not only was he specific about the types of native plants that he encountered, but he also delivered a humorous account of his experience.
I enjoyed the way that Calhoun wrote about the Joshua trees especially. I remember the first time I ever saw a Joshua tree. I was spending the weekend in 29 Palms with my best friend's sister and her family. If you have ever driven out in that area, you know that there are thousands of Joshua trees all over the landscape as far as you can see. I usually don't think of the desert as an interesting place to see, but between the windmills and the Joshua trees, there is always an interesting view in that area. It was easy to relate to Calhoun's description of the Joshua trees as well as the other plants that he came across.
I think that the images that Calhoun chose to post with his story complemented it very well. It was great to have such a description of what he saw that was less technical and more subjective, and then to see the actual image. I really liked Calhoun's style of writing and I actually enjoyed reading this although I didn't initially think that I would have any interest in it.
