The hibernating creatures have also started to emerge from hiding. I also almost stepped on a snake while hiking. He was out sunning himself and didn't notice me. It wasn't a rattlesnake thankfully. It was just a little guy that I haven't identified. It's definitely an exciting time in the desert!

So beautiful, like a breath of fresh air. By the pictures it looks silent, away from the sounds of running motors (which is now rare in much of this country). A place where you can rejuvenate and find peace. A great place to explore.
It seems odd to see pictures of fresh growing flowers after the long winter. Well, actually its still winter in my neck of the woods, -2F yesterday. But heard tell spring is around the corner and your wonderful pictures prove it.
sweet pics yo.

Mikey!!! I wish I was there! The desert looks so beautiful. This is the first time I've visited your blog, I think. I'll come more regularly. You are really living the life. Miss you!
