It’s been an absolutely lovely spring here in the Chihuahua Dessert in and around El Paso. This year we had an unusually wet spring, and the desert has been in full bloom as a result. So, today I present some of the flora and fauna from the surrounding area, and on Fun Photo Friday I’ll present some of my favorite shots from this year’s springtime blooms.

Catedral de Nuestra Señora de La Paz — Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace
The La Paz Cathedral is only a very short walk from the pier at which the cruise ships dock, and it’s definitely worth the walk. Here’s a sampling of what you’ll see there:

By the way, if you’re reading this and other material authored by me on The Destinary website, this post was not “Posted on (fill in the date) | By destinary” as they’ve been erroneously claiming; this material was in fact reposted. The Destinary have also been claiming the right to do so, without links back to the original and without full attribution (“by RDoug” and a nonworking link is not proper attribution) with a rather bizarre interpretation of U.S. copyright law in which they claim I’m responsible for changing my RSS feed settings so that they cannot skim my material for commercial purposes. That would make reading my blog less convenient for you, which I’m not willing to do. As such, I’ll be running this little diatribe on all travel related posts until they cease and desist, along with this:

The Buildings of La Paz
Strolling the streets of La Paz presents one with explosions of color contrasted with the more traditional.
I’ve shown you the faux lighthouse, but here’s another view.
Don’t think that all the works of art are restricted to the boardwalk area. You’ll find other examples further inland.
And whereas the boardwalk has a certain look, so too do the shopping streets.
