Rain brings in the flowers
RP gets some rain but never enough. The cholla still seem thirsty.
It has been a long time since the orange flowers abounded chest high.
Such a pretty sight that makes RockyP seem so nice.
It makes everyone
[ happy ]
Joe, don't be so gruff...

You have to consider that Penasco is in the desert, regardless of the fact it's got the gulf...

it's comforting to know that all that beauty will come from this nasty weather... my amigo Rick is down in old port and says the waves are at least 8 to 10 foot at the Vina del Mar, right now at 10:30 am...
Generally mid-March through mid-May. April is best. Different plants bloom at different times, but during April, there's usually a really good show alongside the road of yellow, purple, orange, white and red as you drive through Organ Pipe National Monument and along the road from Sonoyta to Penasco.
Wait til later today! Buoy is showing Red Flag gale force winds. Not a day to be on the water! Surprisingly, Saturday's not looking that bad at the moment. Hmmmm....

if you really want to see colors then you need to take the scenic route between Tucson and PP, basically all the way you will find all sorts of colors and that mixed with the awesome view of the mountains and just the country sight in general, beautiful desert area.
Take route 86 (Ajo Way in Tucson) all the way to Why (wjere it dead ends anyway), then you turn south (that is left) on route 85 to Lukeville, it is really impresive!!
OK, OK RPjoe I will not do another plug but.....ok

Like Kenny said, it is Renewal and rebirth. And RP surely needs this baptism.
Yes, the drive south of Why have carpets of pure Mexican California poppies giving anyone looking a free high... it is incredible how they have adapted to survive the harsh ground.
In town the five foot high orange(?) ones makes this desert town very colorful and hides unsightly items left on the ground.
TEN foot waves? Someone needs to take a picture of the Fishermen with these in the Back ground, or slamming against the floating restaurant.

That was exactly what I was thinking of doing, maybe a video... then I stepped outside... YUK... it's a good thing that it rained enough to soak the ground, otherwise this would be a dirt eating, sand blasting day... Just hoping no trees are downed from the winds...
Stuart... I heard earlier in the week that Buoy was predicting 14 footers for today...
Yes, too early. It might be a bit greener than normal from the rains, but you won't see any flowers yet.
