On Sunday, after having breakfast with Ginny, the boys and I headed for Joshua Tree National Park. I was hoping to see some more wild flowers and Joshua trees in bloom, similar to yuccas in bloom. No such luck. There was a lot of brittlebush, in fact, hillsides full of it. I took pictures of any flower that struck my fancy, plus a scene through my side mirror. There was also a large grouping of ocotillo.
From Joshua Tree, I went to Blythe. There were two parks where we had stayed on the Colorado River a number of years ago. At the other one, I took some really great pictures of baby owls. As it turns out there are evidently owls in this park also. Notice the name of the eatery. The first picture is sunrise on the Colorado while walking the dogs.
After Blythe, I stopped at a Passport America park in Tucson. The windy weather was moving in the next day, so I left at 6 am and arrived at the Hi-Low RV Park in Deming at midmorning. Shortly after that the wind proceeded to blow as bad as I’ve ever seen it in all my years in New Mexico. I even pulled the slides in so I didn’t have to listen to the noise of the awnings over the slides.
When the weather cleared, I took pictures of the grounds. Some of the snow birds have really interesting and cute ideas for decorating. The prettiest wildflowers I found were back here in New Mexico.
I arrived home Sunday morning just ahead of the wind again. The sewer people are digging up the road in front of my house again. Hopefully, all will be back to normal by Memorial Day. Maybe!
