Spring Flowers!

4/22/08 Benson, AZ

Spring has come to the desert, and warm, sunny 80+ degree days prevail. Due to extremely low winter rainfall, the cactus and wildflowers are slow to appear here in our area.

However, this time of year brings back memories of many lovely wildflower displays we have witnessed and filmed during our travels. I would like to share a few of these photos with you. Some I know the names of, others I do not.
