Messengers of Spring in the Desert

While driving through the last miles towards our final destination I saw the first spring desert flowers.
The Yuma area in Arizona gets more precipitation than the desert around El Centro, CA.
Here it is greener and there are more flowers. But there are the same as at our spot.
Some years they are plentiful other years there are none.
Lots of Pale Yellow Brittle Bush along the I-8.
Bright Yellow Desert Sunflowers
White Desert Chicory
Pink Desert Sand Verbena 


Desert Lilies
The first view of the LTVA, now it was just over the bridge and off the ramp!
Sure One HAPPY DOG! 
And the temperatures for the next 2 weeks are looking great! Up twards the upper 80ies (32 °C)!
WE DON'T WANT TO COMPLAIN about that!
