even without the bloom. I was shocked to discover how many Californians have never heard of it. That was a long time ago and maybe it's become better known now. But if you've never been there, go! Here's a great excuse to do it-the desert bloom.

I took people there on several different trips because I had to show them. The last time I went about 13 years ago (live in NYC now) I was disappointed because some heavy rains from El Niño flooded my favorite part of the park causing heavy damage and some of what I wanted my friend to see was wiped out. A lot of the palm trees in the central oasis/waterfall were down. Still beautiful!

until I moved out here from Boston. Many of the native plants might not look like much but they make up for it when they blossom.

The rains have brought creeks and waterfalls to life, and there are wildflowers everywhere. I will check out Anza-Borego in about a week, when the blooms are at their peak.
