When the Desert Rains

Saturday we went for another run in the desert, which is rather like a botanical garden this year because of our unusual moisture. More species are blooming now than I could ever record on camera, so I just picked some of my favorites to show here.

Milkvetch

Groundsel

Beardtongue (blue) and Indian paintbrush

Scarlet guara

Locoweed (yellow) and Indian paintbrush

Sego lily

“The Lord will guide you continually,
And satisfy your soul in drought,
And strengthen your bones;
You shall be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.” –ISAIAH 58:11 (NKJV)
