Desert in Bloom

Back in April we were able to spend a month in Texas. While we were
there it seems everything was in bloom!

 These first two are
 what they called a
 coffee tree.
 It smelled amazing!

 




Mesquite bush.....
isn't it strange!

Desert willow.
The hummingbirds
liked this one! And
it is right out front
of Trevor & Liv's
house!






And now for the cacti....

Barrel cactus

Two different prickly
pear. The plant above
looks bad, but the
bloom is pretty!

Not sure what this is called, but it is pretty!

And last of all.....a single flower. While hanging wash on the line I noticed
these little yellow flowers here & there. Poor things would bloom and die
in a few hours because the sun is so intense.....

I hope you enjoyed these blooms of the desert!

Hymn - Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

 In my devotions one day this week I read this about this hymn....
