So beautiful, Cindy! Yes, desert gold is right.
The leprechauns hide it here! 😉
It’s so beautiful! Gwen Bristow describes that great Californian Bloom in springtime in one of her novels – in “Jubilee Trail”.
Have a fine week, dear Cindy!

Leslie
Yes, like wild daisies დ
What a beautiful carpet of yellow!
Beauty born in the harsh desert დ
When we moved from CA to Illinois many years ago, we took Interstate 40 and were treated by chance to the most amazing carpets of yellow and purple flowers!
Straight through the Mojave Desert, with wildflowers, spectacular! დ
Simply gorgeous!
Grazie mille Alethea დ
Wonderful fotos. Thank you very much, Cindy
You are so very welcome! დ
I love yellow, wonderful pictures.
So happy you enjoyed & thank you დ
Which do you prefer — a sea landscape or a desert landscape? I’m a desert rat so I appreciate the stark beauty of a sea of gold, but I can gaze at the ocean and get lost in my thoughts. Then, of course, there’s the majestic beauty of towering mountains. Wide open spaces just have a certain feeling.
Like you, I love all three. I asked my grandmother this question, because she lived both with mountain and ocean views, and she favored mountain. I like mountain and open space views, with minimal to no development დ
How beautiful, so yellow, 💛
Yes, thank you, growing in such a hostile desert environment დ
Love your road trips, Cindy. They are always amazing adventures. LOVE tagging along.
You ALWAYS make the trip so much more fun Rebecca! დ
Cindy, your posts are pure gold! Thanks for this beauty. Hugs.
Wish I could send you a bouquet of Desert Gold Teagan! დდ
I love wildflowers! These are magnificent!!
I am so happy you do Liz! Thanks much & cheers my friend დ
You’re welcome, Cindy!
A very mellow yellow here, Cindy! Lots of yellow…all fully appreciated here on a very dark and dreary day.
Mother Nature brightens things up for us! Happy you enjoyed Bruce & thank you დ
Beautiful like colorful impressionist paintings.
Very kind and most appreciated David დ
Pretty photos, Cindy. 💞
Thank you & cheers! დ
How beautiful Cindy, and to think they bloom in such cold places. We get this carpeting of wildflowers in the western state after rain also. The color so brightens up the post Winter landscape. It reminds me of how temporary this beauty is but for a small window of season , and we must relish it while it is there in one’s mindful moment.
Yes. Those precious “mindful moments” that photography is so good at helping us to appreciate. I am happy you experience this wonder too my friend დ
Wow! So beautiful! 😍
Thank you very much & cheers to you დ
Wow! Such a gorgeous contrast!
Yes! The matchless artistry of our beautiful planet. Thank you Mitch დ
Oh Cindy, those incredible mountains highlighted with a delightful yellow all around. I could get lost there…easily. Great pictures, thank you for sharing them…even if it is called Death Valley 🤗🥰🤣❤️🙏
Thank you very much Mark. There is lots of life in Death Valley which is always astounding! დ
Great shots of beauty, Cindy. Thank you!
Who knows? Perhaps climate change will turn Death Valley into Life Valley?
Scary isn’t it. Death Valley is wonderful in winter and spring, but quite serious in summer and fall დ
დდდ
So beautiful.
Thank you Gigi & be well my friend დ
Wow! The upper part in almost all of these is like a watercolour/ acrylic painting with white chalk on dark ground where the snow line is, and the wild flowers in the lower part in an abundance…
Mother Nature rocking her artistry. I am happy you enjoyed & thanks very much! დ
So beautiful, Cindy, wow! ❤️🙏🏻🥰
Ahhh…. So appreciated John. Thank you დ
You’re welcome, Cindy. 😊😊
დდ
How does home sometimes look so other-worldly?
Noticed your other exchange. Me, ocean feels like home, but you do well no matter place.
Cali is like that, and is why I will never leave her. She has the hottest deserts and the most snowy mountains, and the sea, always the sea! დ
I think I like this Desert Gold better than the metal one.
Yes! It is life and signifies hope, not greed დ
Yellow wildflowers are just so so beautiful ….
Mother Nature’s artistry on display დ
Another gorgeous photo lineup.
So appreciated. Thank you & cheers დ
What it takes to make Death Valley bloom. 👏
Yes indeed, and more snow and rain are on the way! დ
I love when it blooms out there.
It is amazing დ
