A HIKE AT DARBY WELLS

We hiked out from our boondocking site, just following the BLM road for a bit, and discovered a small desert cemetery, still active.
At the gate of Darby Wells Cemetery
From just behind the hilltop altar
Same altar, different direction
An interesting grave on the outskirts of the cemetery
 And then I sort of got obsessed with mistletoe growing on Palo Verde trees.
A very pretty parasite
with very red berries
This specimen had lighter foliage and lighter-colored berries
Still pretty, for a parasite, anyway!
A huge overtaking of the host tree

  1. I know what you mean by an "active" graveyard, but it still sounds kind of 'zombie-ish/"Night of the Living Dead"'...

    1. Yes, thank goodness we were there in the daytime!
