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!
Hey Ron great color shot very bright. If you are getting tired of color try youtubejakeboulden I was able to ride with him a couple of times over spring break.

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
Thanks 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.
