Superbloom in Carrizo Plain National Monument, California, United States Mar 29, 2025

It"s not every day you see a desert burst into colours, but during a superbloom, the arid land is covered with endless stretches of flowers. This rare phenomenon happens in California and Arizona in the United States, when the rainy season awakens wildflower seeds that have been lying dormant in the soil.
