In honor of Valentine's Day this week, I'll share some of the many flowers that my husband, rather than bringing to me, and gone with me to see. I like it better that way. (I don't promise I haven't shared any of these photos before).
First the desert. Most of these are from Death Valley or Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in southern California.
