Spring in the Sonoran Desert: Yellow and Peach
Many people believe that deserts are barren wastelands. I’ve been to several and I’ve found them all alive with plants and animals. I’ll even go so far as to say I believe the Sonoran Desert is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Currently, many cactus flowers are blooming here (and they have been for nearly two months now with no end in sight). I look around my yard and see bright yellows, startling pinks, creamy peaches, and vibrant oranges. Here are a few glimpses of this spring desert beauty. These are all wild, native, and completely untouched by humans (although the animals have been enjoying nibbling on the prickly pear pads lately). Expect more pictures later next week since I love to photograph these beautiful flowers.
