Spring in the Desert



Originally photo by CandyPix
My sister in law uses an Olympus camera and did a hike up in the granite near her home in Arizona. She caught this shot which is a great contrast between the seeming hard and gray surface of the granite and the vibrant color of the desert flowers.

A few years ago we visited her for Thanksgiving and spent one afternoon out in an area away from town. I am constantly amazed at the subtlety of the desert. There is a remarkable sameness in a lot of the landscape and then all of a sudden if you are careful you discover a scene like this. Here is her photo stream on Flickr.
