Green Explosion

With the exception of the two images of the intrepid hiker Becca all other photos are shots of the burgeoning green Ocotillos which have suddenly leafed out in spectacular fashion.  I was so astonished at how rapidly they had turned green overnight that I snapped more than thirty pics of them during an hour-long trek.  On our way back in we ran into our pal Jimmy, and he and I stood talking for about twenty minutes while Becca lay in the shade of a giant yucca.  We're going to be much hotter today, and it was already evident in the early morning.  The Beckster seemed somewhat sapped by the heat; therefore I cut the hike short.

Amazing how quickly the ocotillos started to get green. It says a lot about how little water the desert plants need to survive (and even thrive).
