Desert Candle

Desert Candle, Mojave Desert.

The Desert Candle has to be one of of the most unique wildflowers I have ever seen!  When back lit, the hollow shaft of these giant flowers exhibits a wonderful glow, they are really impressive.  I think they are fairly rare, I know I looked far and wide before finding a small patch in 2005, and its not like they are hard to miss!

Normally I love winter, but this year in Alaska we have had endless warm temperatures and rain – in the winter, rain is wasted precipitation in my opinion – it could be snow!  So I guess this spring like weather has got me thinking of spring wildflowers!

Last year our free shipping offer was so popular, we have decided to do it again.  So for any order over $100, we will ship it for free via Priority Mail to anywhere in the United States – yes even Alaska and Hawaii. 

If you ordered prints during the last two months while we were traveling, and your order is just getting filled this week, you might think this is unfair to now read about this special – and we agree.  So, for any order over $100 placed during the last two months you will also receive the shipping for free.

So why McWay Falls?  No reason, but it has been a popular print.

Interesting rocks in the Mojave Desert last night after sunset.  I loved the glow on the rocks from the evening light and the purple earth shadow!

Right now (Friday afternoon) we are sitting in the Palm Springs airport waiting for the flight home.  We actually hit Anchorage at midnight and will drive home on Saturday during the daylight.  I hear the Seward Highway is in tough shape from all the snow.Read More
