desert blooming

A,
It must be spring time for Arizona.  The desert is in bloom.  You know how sometimes you'll see a picture of the desert and it can look pretty beautiful?  This is one of those times.  

 

Except that most of the flowering plants are landscaped plants around here, and our "real" desert is still the boring ugly desert that it normally is.


There are some parts of Arizona that are lovely, but we don't live in one of those microclimates.

 

However, I do have to say that our neighborhood has some lovely desert flowers going on.


I wish I had a better idea what all of these were.  I am slowly learning what types of plants are what, but for the most part, I have no idea.



By the way, I got a new camera.


Isn't it amazing?
