The Desert in Bloom

And you thought the desert was nothing more than tumbleweed, dust, and lizards.  Just look at what I saw this morning as I went for my morning wannabe run 5K training session.

Beautiful pictures! How do you take pictures while running and make them sharp?
Or is it a 5K walk?

Lovely! I’ve always thought the desert is beautiful. It’s not green and wooded and heavily flowered, but it IS captivating in its own way.
