Disappointed

I went searching in the desert for what I hoped would be the desert awash in colors. With the very wet winter and spring we have had this year, more rain than I have seen in over 20-25 yrs., I was hoping that a carpet of mixed blues,yellows, oranges, purples reds and green would be breathtaking, no such luck. I checked elevations from 1200 ft. to near 4,000 ft in elevation and from the creosote flats to mountainous transition zones. So disappointed at the lack of wildflower blooms. I have seen, many years ago where it is like the whole desert explodes with bright colors. I was only able to find a few small patches with just a few types of flowers.

And disappointed I wasn't able to arrange a trip to watch the total solar eclipse again this time. If you have a chance to view it in totality I would highly recommend it. It is truly a unique and spiritual experience.
