Even in the driest of seasons, the desert blooms. It is kind of miraculous—giant buds emerging from the smallest of cacti and wildflowers lining the highways and medians, seeming to bloom from nothing at all.
A sea of bright yellow Palo Verde trees coat the horizon. And a walk through the neighborhood reminds me of an early September snowfall in Canmore.
