Description

(((~~ MONTHLY THEME ~~)))

Image taken at Death Valley National Park last January, BuZZ filter applied with Topaz Simplify.

MOTHER NATURE HAS THE DEFINITE CREATIVE POWER!

Death Valley is generally sunny, dry, and clear throughout the year. The winters, November through March, are mild with occasional winter storms, but summers are extremely hot and dry. Summer high temperatures commonly run above 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Comfortable clothing providing sun protection and a broad brimmed hat are recommended in summer. Winter requires warmer clothing and light to medium jackets. Sturdy walking shoes are important year round.
