Spring in the Desert

It is very pretty here with all the spring colors! There is a lot of green in the hills from all the rain we had a few months ago. And driving around the last few weeks, I've noticed all the prickly pear cactus have buds on top and the last week or so they have all been blooming. It's very pretty! Down the center of the roads in our neighborhood, they have trees that are all in bloom in bright yellow and then under them, lots of prickly pear cactus that have bright orange blossoms on them. I of course don't have a camera to take a picture but I found this one on the internet that looks just like the yellow trees and the blooms on the cactus only these blooms look closed and the ones around here are all open and beeeutiful!!
