Spring in the Desert

There wasn't much rain this year, which seems to have resulted in a late Spring in the desert. The flowers are few and far between. Hopefully more will appear in the coming weeks. If you look close enough you can find some. Found these walking around our land this weekend, and I am starting to learn the names.

Happy Easter!

I think this is Antelope Bush, or a type of Cliff Rose.

Beavertail Cactus - soon to bloom with bright pink flowers.
