Beautiful!
Color in the desert, lovely.
Interesting translation from the Spanish; chupar osa. I also found out that in colloquial Spanish it means hummingbird bush. But then any life in the desert is trying to survive.
Cheers, Jules
Magical touch of rich colour in the sands.
now this is something i haven’t seen before – very nice
I love that wonderful picture, excellent staining poetic!
Wow! What to say more MMT … I am in awe …
Oh you are so observant to have still found it, maybe there is nothing unusual in the vastness of the dessert except that!
this is exquisite!
Lovely photograph… A blossom in the desert is a thing of beauty.
Call it ‘bloody mary’ 🙂
Ouch! 😉
