I have many of those flowers blooming too! lol Lots of water this winter so lots of flowers that I will be pulling out of the garden today...I've been overtaken with desert dandelions! They are nice to look at, but all those "foxtail" sticker things are awful when the dogs walk near them!  Getting them out of their hair takes forever!

Always a pleasure to see a vid from you! Catchy little tune! I think I'll be singing it today as I pull all those dandelions...:-)

@GreatGig1 Thanks! I have a lot of desert dandelion in my yard along with brown-eyed primrose and cryptantha and a few other things. The only thing I pull up are the mustard plants!!!

Great catchy song this one and eastern like guitar riff

[blackturtleshow]

@faffytunes I almost used a version of the song without the riff, but it sounded incomplete and so I spent a couple hours messing around until I came up with the riff I used in this version of the song. Thanks for watching!!!

so much beauty.

[blackturtleshow]

@CrappyCartoons Yep, it's great to be able to hike around and enjoy the flowers and other aspects of the outdoors! It's always an adventure out here in the Death Valley area!
