I've never seen one although I've read about how the wild flowers can bloom and create such beauty that one is left breathless. But your photographs do show me that the desert isn't just sand. Which is how I tend to think of deserts. I wonder if it's the Sahara that is my template for deserts? <br /><br />Peace.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612299013780771262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-8549345967091933162012-06-17T06:22:47.056-07:002012-06-17T06:22:47.056-07:00Those pictures are just gorgeous, I so want to see...Those pictures are just gorgeous, I so want to see the desert for myself one day!!

I has taken me years to work out that right here was one of the most amazing gold stories. World records 100 years ago. Our back gate was the access point. A street I lived in, in the city was built using that wealth. And several layers of different stories. The californians came here and bought plants. I see those every minute <br />All here in a little piece of dirt.<br />And it's so easy to miss.<br />Now there will be a story about the mine you saw. Whole life histories. Wonder what it was ?<br />KerryThe Field of Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00198031456340592151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-24763933105719669442012-06-16T16:17:57.866-07:002012-06-16T16:17:57.866-07:00It is rather amazing how animals adapt to the hars...It is rather amazing how animals adapt to the harshest environments.

Why does the sight of a landscape of empty sand, rocks, slab and rubble stir the spirits more than a view of lush green fields and woods? Why does the lifeless play of light, colour and distance have such an invigorating, fascinating and elating effect?<br /><br />Perhaps because no limitations are imposed by other forms of life; perhaps because the mind of the beholder is presented with a fata morgana of unlimited freedom.”OneStonedCrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500359406575114699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-75410412201385879802012-06-16T07:37:42.725-07:002012-06-16T07:37:42.725-07:00I think because I lived in the east for so many ye...I think because I lived in the east for so many years, the west fascinates me. I can (and I guess I'm forced to) stare at the desert for hours as we drive. At first you think it never changes, but that is so wrong. There are so many interesting plants, rocks, animals, clouds.... it is beautiful in its starkness. Thanks for sharing 'your' desert with us!Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.com
