Desert Wild Flowers

The desert is in bloom! A couple of days ago we went for a hike in Usery Park to see the flowers. The first impression we got, even before we saw a lot of flowers, was how green the desert was! The ground is covered with small green plants. It almost looks like the desert has grown a carpet of green grass. Here's a couple of pictures of what we saw.
