New Mexico's Flowering Landscape

Here it is, August, the hottest month of the year in America's desert southwest.  But it is also monsoon season.  Sometimes that means an occasional rain shower, but this year it means lots of rain. Rain means fields of wildflowers, green vegetation, and flowering bushes.




I can't wait until we get to Arizona and get to see the Saguaro cactus though.  I first saw them the summer I turned five years old.  Talk about "don't touch"!  To see an entire landscape filled with those giant phenomenon!  Nope, I can't wait!
