This past Saturday we put Madame in the back of the car and drove out to Death Valley National Park. It's a great park normally, but right now it's particularly special. Because of the unusual amount of rain we've gotten in the southwest this winter, Death Valley (usually the most desolate place in America) is blooming with wildflowers, and they're saying it's the best it's been in 100 years. I'm no photographer, but I took a bunch of pictures to check out if you're interested. If you live anywhere near the southwest, or are traveling here in the next month or so, take some time and check it out.
