What I have learned about the weather forecast is that they always get yesterday's weather correct. If I want to know what the weather will be I look at creation. While the weather forecast is generally wrong - nature? NEVER!!!
Be quiet. Listen. Observe. Be still.
All creation groans.
Can you hear it? Do you see?
It appears life as normal. Heat. Busyness. But be quiet and wait.
The birds fly low. The heat intensifies. A strange breeze blows. The prickly cactus only blooms when a storm is brewing. Do not doubt it. Wait for it. Brace yourself.
The rain is coming. The storm will hit. The flood gates will open. And then the beauty of the blossoms will be seen!
I miss living in the desert, if only for those incredible blooms in the spring and after the rain. After the rain, it turns green. Just like instant coffee. Boom. It is green.
I can smell them from here!

sometimes, even they err on that 😀
HAHAHA! Exactly. I actually wrote that in the initial post but thought it was a bit cheeky so removed it!
Haha! It would have been more correct than normal!
Exquisite flowers❤
Beautiful picture

The cacti flowers look so beautiful and I absolutely love waterfalls. Weather? Well, it happens, no matter what the forecast is 😜
They are stunning! And the smell is amazing
