The Anza Borrego Desert is beginning to bloom!

I cycled down to the end of our road, DiGiorgio Rd., to see the start of the spring bloom. There was a fair crowd down there to see and photograph the first of the colour. It is primarily a purple and white show right now but the start of yellow is there too! The prediction is that the next 2 weeks will be an unforgettable show!




Lots of people with cameras!

Up close macro shots of the white flower that I think is the primrose

And the desert dandelion

The purple sand verbena is plentiful right now.

I am going to take the Overlander trip in the next week. They take you in a big open army truck into the desert for 5 hours. Here is their website to get a look at the vehicle! My cycling shorts with the padded bum may be a good fashion choice for this ride. More photos to come!
