The ocotillo are finally opening their red, red buds - they didn't put on leaves for the show - guess they're waiting for more rain.
More birds are arriving from their wintering grounds. The Scott's Oriole is actually a bright lemon yellow - it photographed on the orange side.
My favorite blooming cactus so far - the Texas Rainbow Cactus. Here's a closeup inside the flower -
A small cactus flower, which I believe is the spiny star cactus
And a nice large blind prickly pear just opening its first flowers
A golden-spined prickly pear is also starting the grand show
The Living Rock cactus is easily overlooked, for obvious reasons. It tends to flower in fall.

Last night's full moon - do you see the praying Indian in the sweat lodge? If not, look below.
Head bowed, feathers bent, sitting cross-legged...
Good Night, Moon!
Good Night, Moon!
