Desert Bloom


Years ago my wife and I were fortunate enough to visit the desert at Joshua Tree National Park near Palm Springs, California shortly after a heavy rainfall and during a dramatic blooming of desert flowers. It was quite a spectacular and rare experience. The entire landscape there was covered with multi-colored wildflowers. Now the desert at Death Valley in California is experiencing an equivalent super bloom ... see: New York Times Article.

For those of you who covet nature, I heartily recommend that you follow the weather forecasts for desert areas and try to be there when equivalent blooms occur. It should be on everyone's bucket list.
