It's amazing the variety of flowers and plants one finds in the desert.
I don't know the names. I just know they are beautiful.
Purple, lavender, red, white, yellow......
In the most inhospitable of landscapes, they grow and thrive.
Many are protected by thorns.
Some are subtle and delicate, while others are so eye poppingly bright that they attract attention from quite a distance.
This one looks as though it was just stuck down into the sand, but no, it was really growing just like that.
These grow in clusters on a bush that grows quite tall, and then develop into some type of fruit, but it is inedible.
Look at the size of these thorns! Simply Amazing!
I look at life from multiple perspectives... I believe that every breath we take, every thought we have, and every place and culture that we experience leads us to who we are to become... Would you like to join me on my journey? Let's go! There is a great big world out there to see!
