Desert in Bloom

My wife Sophie is down visiting me for her Spring Break and this morning we took a hike along the Wild Burro Trail. The round-trip of 7 miles took us along the lakeshore, up and over some rolling hills, and through some beautiful wild flowers. When I first arrived at Lake Pleasant everything was pretty much still brown but just a couple of weeks later the desert is now flowering. Thanks to some February and early March rains the flowers appear to be ready for the warm weather to finally arrive.
Along this morning's hike I took the video above . For those still locked in Winter's icy clutches it's a sneak peak of what you'll be experiencing in another month or two. Enjoy!

  1. Ceertainly a different kind of beauty, isn't it? Do you have to watch out for snakes this time of year? Where are 'da Puppies'?

  3. A desert in bloom is spectacular! The desert is "alive" but we did not see anything without a spine��
