Christmas Day Hike (296/365)

A black and white landscape depicts a rugged desert scene with distant mountains under a partly cloudy sky. Large rocks covered in greenish-yellow lichen are surrounded by greenery and grass in a natural setting. A group of ants surrounds a burrow-like hole on a gravelly surface.

It’s rarely this green and lush in the winter desert; it’s been a nice mix of cooler weather and lots of rain. The earthy desert smell was incredible today. Mostly creosote bush, which gives off a wonderful smell when it’s wet.

Best I could tell, the ants were dragging the green stuff in and taking the dry brown stuff out. Must of been a good housekeeping day.
