Borrego Springs, nested in a low desert valley between Palm Desert and San Diego, is an isolated haven of desert beauty, especially during a springtime superbloom. Ocotillo and desert flowers blanket the sandy floor with unexpected pops of color, making it a joy to paint.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PerfectLighting with the Alt theme #Finches. Perfect lighting is subjective, methinks, but the lighting for this shot worked well, bright enough for detail but kinda of moody against the bright #ocotillo blooms.

Octoillo branches are spindly and spiny, making a good perch for birds. On the left a phainopepla perches, while top right, a little hummingbird hangs out. They stayed that way a good amount of time.

I go out to work on Monday morning
Tuesday, I go off to honeymoon
I'll be back again before it's time for sunny-down
I'll be lazing on a Sunday afternoon

Stitched panorama of an impressive geologic feature that could be mistaken for a meteor impact crater. This feature appears in the hazy distance under a clear sky and above rolling desert terrain. An ocotillo appears at the left of the image, with scrubby desert plants scattered across the ground generally.

Ocotillo plants in front of Bohemio in Marfa, TX
I'm in my favorite place in the world for a one-week remote work retreat, so here is a picture of my favorite local plant. #ocotillo #marfa #texas
The orange colored bloom of the beautiful Ocotillo plant. The stem has sharp thorns. The desert is in the background with a light, blue sky.
Ocotillo! (Little Torch)
I took this pic in Arizona. The plants was in full bloom on the hills & mountainsides of the desert. A semi- succulent, it can live 60-100 years or longer. “How lovely the silence of growing things.”

Male House Finch on an Ocotillo branch. During breeding season, males are especially colorful. Their diet affects their color. Bright red is typical but this year, many males were also yellow or orange.
