Easter in the Desert

One of the joys of living in the desert is spending the day looking for wildflowers in the spring and when you find them it's like finding those eggs at Easter.  You never quite know where they'll be and it's always a pleasant surprise when you do find them.  Spotting these beavertail cactus blossoms under an ocotillo was like finding a bunch of dyed eggs at one time.
