Last summer we took a trip to southeastern Oregon where we saw the brilliance of the desert.
Contrasting colors atop 9,733-ft Steens Mountain.

Colorful soils rounding a bend.

Rabbitbrush in bloom near Big Indian Gorge.

Mountain mahogany trees growing on a ridgetop.

Some think of deserts as dull and boring. However, if you look at things in a different way, you’ll witness the brilliance of the desert.
Ah, my sort of brightness.

Yes, you probably see a lot of it near your home!
Definitely! It’s all about the sun here.
Anyone that thinks of a desert as being dull or boring is sadly mistaken and should take a closer look. Your images is a good place for them to start, Siobhan. Beautifully done.
Thanks, Marilize!
Vibrant beauty wisdom we should heed
Thanks, Marina. You know the desert’s beauty well.
