Hope everyone is having a wonderful Earth Day and gets the opportunity to go outside to enjoy some time in Nature.
Plus I'm just seeing if anyone comes around since it seems to have become a little deserted since AE has company and whatnot

The weekend before my friend was to visit, I had another kind of visitor. They took up residence in my Joshua Tree.

Friday morning I drove up to Stanton, an old ghost town, that is now used by modern day gold prospectors. On the way, I took a side trail up into the hills.
The elevation was just enough higher than where my house is that we found a lot of different cacti in bloom.

These next three are the blooms that, from a distants, look like tongues of fire on the Ocotillo limbs.

At last, something is blooming in my yard! ehehe That prompted me to take more pictures this morning.
And then it is back out to the desert.

Gorgeous pictures AE! I can see some of what I missed when I was there (after the blooming season). I didn't know there were different
colored cactus blooms, I thought there were just the pink blooms. And keep the wild flowers, they're beautiful!
BTW, glad to see you're feeling better!
