Who’s crazy enough to camp in a desert during the hot summer? Me, that’s who!
In order to see the Perseid meteor shower (which occurs between July 17 and August 24), I ventured away from the city lights and into the desert. A quick getaway to nearby Joshua Tree National Park ended up being loads of fun.
During the day, temperatures can soar above 100 degrees, so I opted to cool down inside the Palm Springs Art Museum (Palm Desert location). They had an exhibit on figures, and these were a few of my favorites:

Outside, the museum even had a sculpture garden. I braved the broiling sun and captured some photos of statues that spoke to me.

Then at night, I grabbed a camping site. I got to see quite a few falling meteors when it got dark. Success!
And here’s a pic of the Big Dipper:
