I never grow tired of the desert sights. It’s such a different desert than the manicured lawns, hedges and golf courses of Palm Springs — yet it’s technically the same desert. The Sonoran Desert.
My husband spotted these quail eggs in a planter under a bush. Talk about an effective nest. Now we know where the babies came from.This is the planter where the quail made a nest! It’s in the side yard right outside where the trash bins are stored.I’ve been watching this century plant grow.A few weeks later. It’s grown so fast, you can stand still for a few minutes it seems like you can watch it grow. I wonder if it will bloom? Sunset view with ocotillo.
Have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by. What are your plans for the weekend?
This is my last desert walk for a few weeks. I’ll be walking along a beach instead. I took a few pictures of things that caught my eye, including prickly pears and bunnies. Then it was time to take Olive in to board
This bright green ocotillo was bare and dead looking when we moved in.The wild lilac in our yard is blooming. It’s also known as purple sage according to my plant ID app.
A few of the dozens of bunnies I saw this morning. We’ve been hearing the bobcat at night climbing up a tree out or window and on our roof.
We’ve made the first leg of our journey to visit my dad. Then it will be another day before we head to Summerland. The weather today is 104 degrees with flash flood warnings. Can’t wait for the beach!
