Desert Varnish/Desert Flora

Desert Varnish is a wonderful and strange coating that forms on rocks in the desert from heat, clay, biologic stuff and other magic. Flowers, of course, are flowers, and they seem to show up everywhere, even in the desert. And they are espcially dramatic against the backdrop of dry and seemingly barren. Which may just make them ever more magical and special and more effective as a reminder that life is a gift not to be taken for granted, which of course is what I do most of the time except when I don’t. I hope you don’t some today, too.

If you’d like a beautiful high resolution postcard print, made by me, the photographer, for you, the magical person enjoying this image, just let me know by sending me a donation. I will take great pleasure in personally printing, signing and mailing this bit of my eye off for your pleasure.
