When I was driving home from the Desert Botanical Garden last Sunday, I caught sight of this colorful yard on my way home and I immediately turned the corner to go back for a second look.
The yard was covered with the yellow and orange blooms of African Daisies. I was surprised to see them. They usually don't pop up until mid February. I wonder if all the rain we have been getting prompted them to make an early appearance.
Whatever the reason for the early start, they are a welcome sight to see. It's been unseasonably cold here in the desert southwest this January so these little bursts of sunshine are sign of the warmth to come.
They are indeed colourful and dazzling
ReplyDeleteNature is a bit confused......
ReplyDeleteEarly... how lucky can you get?
ReplyDeleteVery cheerful.
ReplyDeleteGreat colors, I need to remember to turn around and go back when I see something special
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous sight, Sharon. We are supposed to get major snow here starting this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious sight for January! I was thinking it was a bit early for those!
ReplyDeleteGreat, I'm guessing it will be a while before I can shoot something similar!
ReplyDeleteWhat a colourful sight to see.
