Desert? What Desert?

A very wet winter has left the Sonoran Desert very colorful, as is evident in our very own yard. Our borrowed little patch of Tucson spends most of the time tan and brown, but now it's green, yellow, purple, orange, and more. It's amazing how all this color was just lying in wait for the rain to summon it up.

I love early springtime in the desert.

The cacti feel surrounded and outnumbered....
