At the Edge of the Desert.

 At the edge of the Desert in Western Australia we went looking for Wildflowers near a place called Carnarvan in that State.  How delighted we were to come across the flowers that I'm showing.  Somewhere there is always a flower in bloom.  These were taken in the springtime.

    1. Apparently some years are better than others, R. Hope you do get to see them.

  3. The map shows what looks like a very substantial desert. As do a few of your photos. Yet at the right time and the right place, the ground is covered by a sea of wildflowers.

  4. Margaret, apparently in a semi-arid area, nature gives us colors to beautify her.

    1. They are lovely to see in person Angie, one minute just reddish ground, then next wild flowers in the right season.

  6. One of my sisters in law went to the 'Red Centre' just after rain. There were apparently wild flowers as far as the eye could see. Unbelievably she was disappointed - not what she went expecting to see.

    1. I wonder what she expected even though she wasn't expecting to find wildflowers. Maybe she expected to see more variety or something. Never been to the 'red centre' when it's rained but they say it's beautiful.

  9. I would have liked to see the WA wildflowers but it won't happen now. It was autumn when we visited.

    1. Haven't been in autumn, mostly mid to late winter and spring for us. They are worth seeing after seeing just hills once in awhile and red sandy/dirt, Andrew.

    The wonders of our amazing country.
    Lets hope that that "peanut" in Washington does see them.
    He'll want them - ha ha.

  18. Desert flower have a unique appeal, and somehow seem especially beautiful. Perhaps it’s because of the harsh conditions they have to contend with.

    1. That's true re harsh conditions, also the red sand/soil/bulldust one wonders how they bloom at all, then they look lovely in the areas that they are because of the terrain.

  19. The vastness of the desert is so impressive, and so are the flowers you found... and it's wonderful when they appear in a sea of ​​flowers.
