Despite the promising sky and definite rain *around*, we got just a brief drizzle – the day featured above and below, which was a couple of days ago. …
** I had to update this post: We got rain yesterday! **
I had previously written after the first sentence: That’s good, but we always like/want *better*. Buckeye and his ladies and baby don’t mind waiting … it’s the humans who stress out!
We DO stress out … and we’re infinitely grateful when the rain finally falls!
All those little white bits on the ground are sego lilies.
Aren’t they spectacular? I posted another pic of sego lilies recently … taken with my camera, as compared with this one, taken with my phone. I’m not tall enough to give my long lens room to focus on the interior of these little beauties, but my phone does a pretty good job.
The prickly pear cacti are blooming now, too. Most blooms are shades of yellow and peach-ish:
But I found these blooms – PINK – just about 10 yards away from the yellow cluster above:
How wonderful are these colors?! And the flowers are pretty, too. 🙂
All the blooms and all the green – and the horses and other wildlife and humans, too, – are grateful.

This little family of Buckeye makes me smile!!
Me, too, Joanne. Me, too. 🙂
Well I am grateful for the flowers, for you who took all the pictures and share with all of us!
And for horses.
I am grateful for the flowers and horses … and you! 🙂
What beautiful photos, TJ! A quick tour of the Basin’s many gifts – mustangs and scenery and blooms. Love those Segos. We’re seeing a few on our property now. And those pink beauties – just outstanding!
It’s a cornucopia of color everywhere you look these days. And I think it’s greenER again after our little dose of rain. 🙂
Love the pictures of the beautiful flowers, and of course the horses! Glad you got some rain! We are supposed to get some early next week! The air here in MI is still bad!
That rain will be such a relief for ya’ll. We Westerners know about wildfire smoke! Prayers for rain to reach your area!
Savoring all the beautiful colors in your gorgeous photos !
Such beauty … even in the desert. 🙂
The flowers are beautiful – and Buckeye’s herd looks great – that baby is growing fast! Wish the other little one was still there.
The foals grow so fast, like all babies. … And like all babies, we wish they can be adorable littles for longer. … But they’ve got a lot of living to do!
