Spring is exploding all over. The unusual winter rains and temperate climates of late have made it possible for the mountains south of my apartment to explode in greenery.

The hills, usually only populated by sparse brush and cactus is covered with a growing layer of grass and weeds. the only patches that aren't green are the hiking trails.

It's mentioned in the news:

The hills arent the only things affected, there some flowering trees in full bloom I pass by as I go home.

Full bloom, in mid february... in the desert?

It looks like it's going to be a good summer.
