One of our favorite things while traveling is to discover "humor sightings." It might be a funny sign in a rural town or a tree covered in shoes. Sometimes it's a cloud shaped like something whimsical. If you keep your eyes peeled, you can find lots of things that make you laugh.
On a recent trip to Joshua Tree National Park, we found several treasures that tickled our funny bones. Some are completely natural...
This is Skull Rock. Although we didn't name it, we thought it was amusing to have a skull made out of rock in the desert - it goes along with the other skulls you find traipsing around the hot, arid desert - only bigger!
Others are natural with a side of human help...
I was amused that someone(s) threw little rocks on top of this huge boulder. I imagine it was a game of sorts. Something like who could toss the most rocks on the boulder without knocking any off. Or how close to the edge could you throw your rock. What I do know is that the average person couldn't just climb up the boulder and put them there without some climbing gear. I wonder how many people pass by without looking up and noticing the little rocks.
And some are completely man-made...
This "yard art" was in the "backyard" of an art gallery out in the middle of the Mojave Desert just north of Joshua Tree National Park. I thought it was a funny place for an art gallery to begin with but as we explored (read: looked for a geocache) we found quite a few examples of interesting yard art. This one made us laugh!
I am thankful for the gift of laughter - it does a body good!
