Pink, Orange & Yellow
Another cluster of wildflowers blends some pink flowers with the orange ones that are backed by some tiny yellow flowers blooming on that shrub in the back. That beautifully shaped saguaro signals that you are in the desert southwest.
The smaller photo shows a close up of the purple flowers that were carpeting the desert floor in another location.
I came to Phoenix in 2009. In july. Such a heat in the streets. But we loved it : the city as well as its surroundings and this great vegetation of the southern United States!
This is really a nice photo and the colors are wonderful. We are no where near this close on blooming here in Ohio. 36° this morning.
