With a break from rainy days, I took my camera across the street to the nature’s preserve to get some photos. I marveled at how green it is in the desert.

The Octotillo look very happy.

Then I slowly walked around our yard to observe the beauty. This bee was busy with a fairy duster plant in our front yard.

The Pyracantha white blossoms have disappeared and been replaced with fruit.

A cactus in bloom.

The Honeysuckle is blooming, too.

The Fire Stick plant is huge and topped with new growth.

Even the Aloe seems healthier with all our rainy days.

One last look at the greenery in the desert.
Happy Friday! What are your weekend plans?

Wow!! Amazing photos…you have an eye for detail and color along with Mother Nature’s help! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, such beautiful views in your area, Elizabeth!! That Fire Stick is so cool, we don’t have those up here. The Aloe does look very green and healthy too. I’ve no plans as usual other than let the day unfold as it does. 😎
It’s all quite beautiful, but also time for me to get busy with my hula hoe.
Beautiful EA! We got our first light frost this morning then back to sun and the 70’s for a week. Crazy weather! I’m getting my car serviced today and the youngest grand has birthday celebrations all weekend so I might be hiding downstairs a lot 🙂
