This picture was taken near Canyon Lake, northeast of Apache Junction, Arizona.  We passed quite a number of cars on the road doing the same as we were–driving and stopping every few miles to take pictures.  There are likely a few weeks left to see the bloom.  Alot of yellow and purple mixed with a few whites are in bloom now.  The cactus look healthy and the mountainsides resemble green velvet.

The warm color of brown and cool color of blue green complement one another.

The stones resemble a drop of water–so are displayed hanging from a ceramic water pitcher.

These earrings are very light and easy to wear.

Fun sparkle to wear to the pool or beach party.

This photo was taken at the west side of Superstition Mountain from Lost Dutchman State Park on March 1, 2008.  Many visitors were there anxiously awaiting the wild flower bloom–which is expected to be spectacular this year due to a higher than average spring rainfall.
