Yucca in the Arroyo

This small community of Mojave and Joshua Yucca along with native sage and shrubs live in a small arroyo. The drainage channels extra water for the plants living along the slope; deep roots extend down under the sand and rock to bring water to the plants. The storm of the previous night breaks in the background with morning light illuminating the scene.
