Our friends, Bill and Wanda headed for New Mexico a few days ago and we moved to a park that is on the edge of Wickenburg. It's an older park with quite a few permanent residents and is a little run-down. But, in the back of the park, away from the street is a section with several nicer rvs and a couple open sites. We chose one that has a little shed and room for Doug to set up his gold mining equipment. It's not beautiful, but it has some nice people and is a little easier on the budget. I'll get some pictures tomorrow.
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that the desert was beginning to bloom. Yesterday on our trip to the wash I took some pictures to share a little of the color.
My favorites are the ocotillo. These skinny, dark green stalks are budding out with red buds at the tips.
The colors haven't totally exploded but are prettier every day.
There are purples, oranges, yellows, whites and occasionally these.
They were tucked into the side of a steep canyon wall, waiting for us to notice them.
Beautiful.......no? Tiny flashes of color to brighten our day.
