Death Valley.. is not so dead

after coming across multiple publications about the Death Valley wild flowers bloom, last weekend I decided to drive there and see that for myself. all the hotels were beyond booked given such a short notice, so Tommy Pie and I took Charlotte to doggie daycare and went on this one-day trip, which was absolutely worth it. the flowers are still in full effect, so if you don’t have big weekend plans, I would highly recommend this as your big weekend plan. breathtaking beauty!

so soft and fragile, but so strong to survive and thrive in the desert
