And then we did Walnut Canyon Desert Drive - a 9 mile gravel loop through the desert. There was so much flowering in the barreness of the desert. Maybe the flowers just seemed so spectacular because of where they were growing and the conditions they fluorish in:
The plant above is a cactus that is about 1 foot across and the needles are just that, hard strong needles.
You should have seen what Tom had to do to get the above picture ... there were thorns, prickers and just a little blood.
I know the names of some of these and how the American Indians used them for food ... strange ... but true. But I'm finally getting tired, so I guess I'll update that part later.
Keep checking back ... who know what tomorrow will bring.
Plus, I forgot the prickly pear!
