Three people standing around a Joshua tree: one trimming a leaf for a DNA tissue sample, one with a clipboard and pencil taking notes, and one holding up a graduated measuring rod and a whiteboard marked with accessioning information
A view of open desert scrubland dotted with distant Joshua trees, under clear blue sky streaked with cirrus clouds
A somewhat blurred image of red-rock cliffs under a starry sky
