A blue chair in Yucca Valley

I caught Laura taking a break in this giant blue Adirondack chair in Yucca Valley in December 2024. String lights and a pink neon Merry Christmas sign were already up in the window, with a Joshua tree drawn on the glass right next to her. It was a clear, mild day, around 65, with a light breeze.

Yucca Valley sits at the edge of the Morongo Basin, not far from Joshua Tree. The chair was just sitting out front, and she climbed into it long enough for the photo.
