As some of you may know, I live in Arizona, where this year’s wet weather (third wettest February in a century) means a bumper crop of wildflowers. The hills around here are spectacularly green, and the color is already appearing. Desert Wildflower Watch is a great place to go for details and pictures like this one, taken just a few miles from my house:
The Arizona Report is here. All these pictures make me want to go for a hike right now.
Thanks to New Mexiken (“Half Wisdom, Half Whimsy, Half Wit”) for the pointer.
