TODAY"s FLOWERS - Desert Blooms


I take you back to another year when I was privileged 
to spend some time in our inland desert

click on any photo to get the full colour sensation

as you see, it was awash with colour


when flowering, these native hop bushed look quite insipid
but their seedpods are an entirely different story

they glow with colour. especially when bathed in 
late afternoon light


as they ripen, they turn a brilliant ruby red


with variations  of pure red or these that retain pale centre


the desert is a wonderful place when you consider that this is 
but one of the stunning items in God's garden


As you may have notice, I have a deep seated hot spot for deserts,
beaches, mountains, forests and all of God's creatures and 
creations and wild, unspoiled places

I just shy away from from the man made, cities are the
bane of my existence 
villages and small towns I quite enjoy for a short while . . .
