Good Morning

If you wake up early in a morning and explore, you might see some pretty cool things. The ones you normally can not see during the day.

We wake up at 4 AM (or even earlier) every day but most of the time we are starring at the computer screen sipping tons of coffee. For a difference, we decided to take a walk in a desert yesterday and I am very happy we did!

What we saw on our way:

- lots of huge trucks full of carrots and the whole carrot field full of people working at gathering them. They were not for public sale sadly.

- gorgeous red wing blackbirds hiding in a barley field. I don't see them around our neighborhood.

 

 

- blooming cactuses. They are simply gorgeous...

... and very thorny, by the way!

Desert in bloom

Spring is everywhere and it came to a desert, too.

It is so colorful this time of the year! The heavy winter rains are gone and desert came alive with a beautiful bloom.

We are lucky to have a regional park close by so we can enjoy wildflowers and cactus bloom any time we like.

There is also a great hiking trails - what a great way to spend a weekend in April!

Love Spring.
Love desert.

Remind me of this in a mid of July, when it will be around 115'F outside :)
