It is a welcome irony. The desert can look like death, but it is full of vibrant life.

A beautiful shot! We’ve had a sprinkling of snow today here in Wales, so I’m looking forward to seeing some sun again.

Amazing plants. They flourish with minimal water. Nature, needless to say, is nothing but surprising.

Yes, we agree. The desert patiently waits for seasonal rains. Then the green arrives. It’s amazing. About every 7 years or so we have more rain than usual which creates a “superbloom” in the desert. PHX and all of Arizona is full of color in the fields.
