What a beautiful photo! You can almost imagine it blooming before your very eyes, the way you took the photograph. That’s really cool!! And what a beautiful color, kind of pinkish-melon.

Thanks Beth!

This was during the very last light of the day – that warm light helped make the flowers really glow!

Some good work here, simple but wonderful.Thank You . Keep it up.
we are planing to go and see desert flowers possibly on April 19th. may be in San Diego. Anybody have suggestions?

Thanks Suj,

When I left the San Diego area a couple of weeks ago, some of the areas were starting to fade – especially Anza-Borrego. You might try the higher elevations in some of the burn areas. The lower areas were sure amazing with poppies – maybe you can find areas still in bloom a little higher.

Good luck,

Ron

Hi Ron,

What a great cactus, and flowering to boot. I’ve always had a thing for cacti – I think they are so beautiful. I even had books on cacti and succulents when I was like 10. What a strange kid.

Hi Chris,

Thanks man.

I don’t think you were that strange – I used to grow cactus when I was like 10, so I can relate.

Ron
