Spring time in the desert

By NicoleB on Feb 28, 2008 | In Kuwait ('07-'08) | 11 feedbacks »

That is how it looks like over here right now.
The flowers are so tiny you almost miss them.
And those bugs (or whatever you call them) are so fast, you barely catch them.
The other day, all of them where doing IT. It was too funny.
Only one day and all of them on that same day. Weird.

Now, I know you all come from different regions on the Globe and I tried to see parts of your world (I’m still missing loads of people though..) - wanna show me what the season looks like where you live?
Is it still winter or already summer or is it springtime,like here?
I even smelled flowers the other day, sort of Chamomile. Sigh.
Come on, show off

Rainmountain, wonderful photos! At this time of year, there are also tiny tiny iris that bloom. They are almost invisible until around noon, and they they all open up. They are short lived, and people tell me they bloom near the Iraqi border, but I think a lot of that area still has unexploded ordnance leftover from the invasion.

I would love to see the real desert

There are even dunes somewhere here in Kuwait, sigh.

This desert is in front of our house, so,......
but someone told me that the same flowers are existent in the desert

It's sad that the desert still has explosives.
You should think that this country really has enough money to clear that mess up

The mental image here in the States, of Kuwait, is one of sand dunes and Mercedes. Had no idea, really, there would be so much in bloom.

max spring fever is hitting hard around here - even though we're still sitting under some snow and it's still below freezing at night (like 10 degrees or more)...it's been in the 40's during the day and everyone's out like it's summer...

now if the flowers would bloom and the sun would shine it'd be great...

I love the shots

Nicole - I didn't expect to see flowers in the desert. I don't think I'd like to catch those bugs though - yuk.

Oddly, I never think of pretty things in the desert - but those are some really pretty pictures!

I can't wait for the flowers to start blooming around here!

Is it the same there, like in Arizona, where after a rain in the desert all the flowers suddenly pop up?

Ok I delted them all (the \\\\), now watch my next comment.

@Lou
You can barely see them

So, your image is about right

@Jonathan
Can't wait to see those pictures
