Bone dry! Bone dry! Bone dry in southwestern Colorado this past winter and ongoing spring. But still there are some desert wildflowers though they are stunted and shriveled and going fast unless it rains soon. Gonna be a very tough summer for wildlife, livestock, and plants unless we start getting some moisture soon and have a good summer monsoon. Went exploring wildflowers in Peach Valley which is dry adobe hills and plains just west of the Gunnison Gorge area in SW Colorado. Some beautiful wildflowers amidst the already cracking and shriveling adobe soil amazingly enough in our drought. Nature is tough and "weathers" the dry periods somehow with a little color.
