Desert Cacti

It rained within the Del Rio city limits yesterday but not out to where my mother lives.  The only thing blooming are the desert plants.  Even those horrible mesquite trees are looking dry and dropping their pods right and left.

Most of the time these cacti look ordinary but today they are sporting a pretty yellow flower.

They usually blend into the landscape but for now they stand out as if saying...look at me!

Yes...those dry bean looking things are exactly what you think they are...pesky mesquite pods :-(

Since this blog also serves as a cyber diary...needed to document that I took mother to the ER yesterday.


Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
