Just Add Water

It rained (briefly) last Saturday. Yesterday morning Bug and I went up to the Quebradas to try out a new set of trekking poles and went off road into an arroyo for the first time in months. Just that little bit of precipitation triggered an early bloom for many plants.

Apache Plume is blooming and the prickly pear is set to have some spectacular blooms later this season. I’ll try to remember to take the camera out next time and get some better photos of the smaller plants that often go unnoticed. Unfortunately my phone camera isn’t great for close ups.
