Everything does seem early this year, and suspect with all the recent rain this spring is going to be awesome.
I am hoping for another Super Bloom! And some cacti and flowers have already started, I guess they can’t wait. We had a hard frost in our back yard. We covered everything but with one windy night some of our bougevvilla got hit pretty hard. It grows back but it our large bush was in full bloom and looking so pretty.
These photos are making me happy in the Syracuse Sunday snow, Nance!
I hope you come to Arizona one day Mr. Mark! It’s beautiful!
Thank you for the visit!
Thank you for taking us there, Nancy! Lovely, lovely early blooms. 🙂
Hi Amy! Thanks for enjoying our desert! We love it!
It’s so beautiful. I miss the desert. Cheers!
Come back! It misses you as well!
Wow, in January?!? Stunning indeed!
We are loving the blossoms and grass!
So beautiful and colorful! I can see why you love it there.
It’s PARADISE!
It looks lovely 🙂
It is a blessing to be able to see this beauty so often!
Thanks for the visit!
All the rain is bring the bloom on early. Beautiful photos!! We did a big Jeep loop yesterday here in Anza Borrego SP and the ground was covered in Desert Verbena and the smell is heavenly. We drove Blow Sand Canyon and it was covered in big fields of lupine which were just gorgeous. Because of heavy thunderstorms in certain areas of the park in Oct, the Desert Lilies are blooming a few areas. I’ve never seen these before. But…No blooming cactus yet here. Enjoy your early spring!
That all sounds heavenly! And to see the fields of Lupines must be remarkable… I’m sure!
Thanks for the visit! And yes… I will be enjoying Spring for sure!
All we’ve got blooming is snow, ice and cold. Would rather see this!
I know. I heard from my youngest and he told me about the snow. Then I saw my grand dog playing in it! Stay warm!
The layers struggle is real 😉
The desert is beautiful and you capture it so perfectly my friend. Thanks for the armchair travel!
I am so glad you came along! Thanks so much for visiting. I always enjoy when you do!
These are beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Spring is my favorite time to hike in the desert. Looks like it’s come a bit early this year. Beautiful photos Nancy!
LuAnne it really has begun. Poppies have already started on a hillside I walked the other day.
I am so glad you enjoyed this post and so glad you have experienced the desert!
It was one of my very favorite things to do in the spring when we lived in AZ.
Love the desert bloom and you have captured it so well!
Thank you so much Kirt!
This brings back so many memories of my New Mexico Nancy….I remember long walks among the blooming cactus and milk weed and goldenrod and Indian paintbrush.
Until you have actually experienced a cactus blooming in the high mountain desert or watch an arroyo dry as a bone suddenly from nowhere become an overflowing gulley of water…well, you haven’t enjoyed the beauty up close and personal of our southwest, isn’t that right, my friend?
Hugs
You said it all so perfectly!
When seeing the desert come alive with blooms and green grass…. it’s amore! 😀🌵
I love the desert and your photos do it justice. Thanks for posting!
WOW!! Nancy, that is some glorious photos! The desert isn’t in bloom here yet, but I am looking for signs every week 🙂
Thank you very much!! We love seeing flowers!
My pleasure. Thank you for sharing the beauty ❤️
Meanwhile back East…..
Lovely photo essay Nancy. If someone were to ask”‘Why Arizona?”, your photos would be the most excellent answer. All my best to you.
Such beautiful words… thank you!!
Magnificent. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for visiting!
