Spring blooms on the Plateau


As we drove along the back roads, I was happy to see some flowers were still in the blooming mode!

 
There were quite a few yellow prickle pear cactus blooms, but the pink blooms were few and far between.  Here's a bloom still in great condition.....and the little bee there is the icing on the cake!

 
Of all the images that I have of yellow cactus blooms, this is one of my favorite.  I love the way it seems to sort of dance in the sunlight!

 
I have no idea what these blooms are, but I really loved them!  I captured this image while we were waiting for (unbelieveably) road construction in the national park!  (I explain more in the next blog!)
 
Enjoy!
