the desert in bloom...

the beautiful desert in the springtime. spiky plants and delicate flowers. red dry rocks next to lush green leaves. a pokey, menacing cactus topped with paper thin petals. a yellow spiked flower growing from the waterless, desert sand. I love the desert and it's peculiar beauty. these are some photos I got on a hike, just me and my camera.

San Juan River 2010.





Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you...
while cares will drop like autumn leaves.
-John Muir

Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature.
It will never fail you.
-Frank Lloyd Wright
