Exploring the Desert
It has been an eye-opening experience living in the desert over the past year. We've enjoyed the Chihuahuan Desert, the Mojave Desert, the Sonoran Desert, and the Great Basin Desert.
{Did you know the U.S. had that many deserts?}
Our preconceived notions of what the desert would be like were rendered faulty. There's a lot of brown, and some reds, with little green. Large, jagged rocks, and low dry basins.
But, clear, deep blue skies dominate. Vibrant reds, oranges, yellows, and purples explode in sunsets. In spring, yellow, purple, and orange blooms start to appear along the roadways.
The Mojave Desert of Death Valley National Park and the Las Vegas area has exposed us to history, and a deeper appreciation for our dry, western deserts.
