Talk about a trip you took out to Anza Borrego
Where the wild flowers weren't.

I decided to take my wife out to see the wild flowers in bloom. I was thinking about Rainbow Canyon, but since my wife's not much of a "hiker", I decided the Borrego Palm Canyon was a safer choice. When we arrived at the trailhead there was only one parking space in the entire lot to be had. If I had been serious about hiking, I would have gone elsewhere. But since this was only to be a walk in the desert to see the wild flowers. I took the last spot, and we started off. We hadn't gone very far and so far this cactus was the only thing in bloom.
But even the Brittle bush wasn't blooming.
The Desert Lavender had very small flowers on it, but they weren't open yet.
But most of the plants were just not flowering.
There was some Indian Paintbrush that was blooming.
And my wife really likes the color of these cacti, even without blooms.
And of course, you can almost always count on the Ocotillo to be in bloom, but not so the cholla.
But looking back on it, even though the flowers weren't blooming, and we didn't see anything other than two small lizards, it was a pretty good day.
I mean you couldn't ask for better weather.
Even my wife had a good time
