A strange tree

It’s not a cactus, and it isn’t a regular tree either. What is it then? It’s the very special looking Joshua tree! Here's a description from an information board at the wonderfully rugged national park in California that is named after the tree:
Explorers, naturalists, and writers have described the tree as a strange, grotesque, peculiar, bristly, stiff, ungraceful, repulsive, bizarre, endlessly varying and spine-studded and spiteful looking. How would you describe it?

Both pictures from my Christmas trip last year to the Joshua Tree National Park.

And this is a good time to wish all readers of Thirty letters in my name a very happy new year!

More than the tree what caught my attention was the rock behind. bears an uncanny resemblance to the Nandi at Thanjavur temple.!
