Description

Hello Friends Firstly allow me to say a big thank you for the overwhelming welcome I received yesterday. It is good to be back and I treassure your kindness and friendship! This is day two of our Namibian trip and is in fact the start of the Namib Desert (+- 80km from the Atlantic Ocean) - believe it or not. Usually this area is void of any grass with only the odd acacia trees struggling to stay alive. The rain this year however has turned it into this magic scene of colorful flowers - in this case, the yellows and purples. You can see the desert sand showing in some spots! Thank you for your valuable comments and favs on my upload of last night! Stay cool... Hugs, Carin xx

Oh good...you are back, for real! I thought I had been dreaming yesterday when I saw your posting and smiling avatar on RR. Stellar vista on display, Carin, with the colorful blooming desert, billowing clouds above, and rugged mountain range in the distance.

Stupendous shot and as I understand it the desert can do this at times as seeds will sit dormant for years and then bloom like this when there is sufficent Rain EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
