A bit of beauty

Our gate looking out toward the street. It’s so beautiful with the plant in full bloom. Most of the year it doesn’t look like this.

This weekend I was stunned by the beauty in our neighborhood. I stop and take photos every day on my walks. I’ve posted several times about the desert in bloom, but more and more flowers amaze me.

The color on this Hedgehog cactus is brilliant.

This beavertail cactus is beginning to bloom.
I love this Yucca at the entrance to our neighborhood.
