FLOWERS
OF SPRING
In
Spring, flowers abound all over the world. In North America,
blossoming flowers mark the end of winter. In Peru, where
it's really Autumn, flowers appear at the end of the rainy
season. In the harsh desert of Joshua Tree, flowers colour
an otherwise stark landscape. At the Portland Rose Garden,
there are hundreds of varieties of roses that are put on
display. But you don't have to travel too far to appreciate
the beauty of mother nature - the most beautiful flowers
I found were on a bike ride five miles from home in the
Santacruz Mountains.
