Desert blooms

You know, I'm always posting here about Deep Canyon, but the desert floor right now is awash in blooming trees and shrubs.  I took these photos a couple of weeks ago, during one of my morning walks.  Our neighbor's grapefruit free is blooming and the minute I open our front door, I can smell its delightful aroma.  Our sweet acacias are also blooming and I'll get some photos of them this weekend.  They are also very fragrant.  I noticed that the ravens were back in this area last weekend.  There were three of them doing an aerial ballet and I just stood and watched them.  Spring in the desert is indeed beautiful, even if we don't have a lot of wildflowers.
