Wild Flowers blooming in the South West Desert

Photograph by Robert Swetz - Las Vegas, Nevada

The wild flowers are blooming all over the South West Desert.

We came across these beautiful wild flowers over the weekend at Mojave Lake 9 miles east of Searchlight Nevada.

Mojave Lake is just south of the Hoover Dam/ Lake Mead and is formed by the Davis Dam just south and is approximately 45 miles south east of Las Vegas.

It is a beautiful area and a little more laid back and more quiet then Lake Mead.

I wasn't aware that there were so many wild flowers in the desert and this is just the first batch. There will be many more different flowers through out the months.

MAR

nice post thanks for sharing!

Lovely. My mother-in-law lives in Arizona and I always hope that the flowers will be blooming when we travel to visit her. Thank you for the variety of photos

Robert, thanks for sharing. This brought back some fond memories of when I lived in Southwest Texas. It shows you can find beauty even in an area that appears to be arid.

Gorgeous shots - appreciate you sharing them with us.

Robert, Isn't it amazing what the desert has to offer. That last flower is the prettiest though.

Marchel - I have to agree with you there!

Hi Robert—The proliferation of beauty in the desert always inspires me. Thank you for capturng it's beauty with your photographs... especially the one of the lovely young lady with her sweet smile!

Is that a new photo of you? I noticed it before, but forgot to mention it. I like this one better :-)
