Hi Rob,
There are places in the "desert" that are quite green due to farming and
irrigation. Just look at the area south of Palm Springs around the
Salton Sea, a by-product of the water runoff from intense irrigation.
Go a few mile ease towards Blythe and all you have are sun-bake rocks
and alkali flats till you reach the Colorado.
Annual rains also will result in the desert blooming for a few weeks
before returning to its more persistent state. Of course, compared to
the Sahara or the Gobi, the Sonoran desert is an oasis of flora and
fauna, but I digress :-)
Thanks, Rob for taken the time and working on the textures. They are a
marked improvement.
Regards
John W

Hi John,
I tried to address the sand textures a few releases ago, the
current sand textures are from Tuson Arizona, these appear greenish.
I'll try re-making new ones based off of samples from new mexico,
which are a little more reddish.
