As It Is

You could bike to an epic desert see Anza-Borrego in super bloom try out your camera’s clever features panoramic sweep, the close-up zoom you could start a drive at Dana Point coastal sun and moon to set it past Big Sur’s grandeur cliff by cliff as far as forested Leggett

you could hike through the tropical jungle into Nā Pali’s island valley cooled by soothing trade-wind breezes at daylight’s grand finale you could fly to romantic Italy immerse yourself in centuries’ art look aloft to cathedral vaultings stirring humbleness in the heart Or— you could stay just where you are: city, suburb, or country town and from your special vantage point sense the quantum magic now. ~Viktoria Vidali

Borrego Springs is a small desert town on the western edge of the Imperial Valley in southern California. Around it are scattered metal sculptures of monsters, megafauna from when the area was wetter, horses, and people. I took photos of some of them during a recent road trip.

Desert evening primrose and purple sand verbena are the stars of the season. The sand dunes are bursting with the most delicate and exquisite blossoms, that come alive in the desert breeze. Let’s return to our favorite spots throughout the wildflower season so that we can see the change and progress of the dazzling display.

It’s so incredible the way these wildflowers seed into the desert sand and rocks, and for a brief time, soften the harsh desert landscape. For two all too brief, fleeting months we were graced with the wildflowers, and they’re already gone, burned off by the late-spring desert sun. But through the magic of video, their beauty lives on eternally.

This wildflower season has been so special and I’m so excited to share it with you. So let’s hit the trail and experience this magical and ephemeral display of nature.

All the best,

William Z. Brennan & Desert Mountain Apothecary

Desert Lilies and Other Easter Flowers

Happy Easter! Ajo Lily When I think Easter I think of springtime and flowers, even though in most of the places I’ve lived those flowers are still a couple of months away. They’re not this year, though, as I’m in the California desert, chasing the wildflowers. And one of my favorite desert wildflowers is the Ajo Lily, also known as the Desert Lily.
