Desert Blooms
In May, we
visited a state park in southwest New Mexico that had several beautiful blooms
on display as a springtime show –
Orange Desert
Bloom
This vibrant,
warm color seems very appropriate for the desert. The details in the bloom are really quite
lovely.
Yellow and Red
This bloom had
the longest stamens! I love the way they
sort of create the idea of bursting fireworks or something similar in this
image.
Busy Bee
I’m not really
sure if this is a bee or some other sort of bug, but he was so interested in
this gaillardia bloom!
Skinny Red
This bloom is so
interesting – the long stems do eventually get covered with some tiny green
leaves/thorns, but they aren’t yet green in the image.
Field of Daisies
It does seem
strange to think I’d come across a patch of daisies growing in a desert
environment, but here you go!
Desert Daisy
Finally, here’s
a great purple daisy! I don’t know if it’s
really a daisy, but it sure does look like one!
Enjoy!
