The First Sign of Spring

Took a walk in the park yesterday and came upon this bouquet of Indian paint brush clustered amongst a yucca. A nice start to the season.

Spring Equinox-The Sword of Light

A friend took us in to the park the other day to a spot where you can see this light effect of the Spring Equinox. The light appears as a small sliver on the ground and then shapes like a sword, then inches foward, and into the hole of an old indian grinding rock. Cool eh?!

A Return 'In Time' To The Wall Street Mill

 The other day we took the walk out to the Wall Street Mill, Bill Keys old property. It's a nice easy walk, only about two miles or so. I love all the old cars and equipment out there and instead of printing them in color, worked with them a little, to give them an old time feel. Hope you like'em.

A Little Walk Down the Canyon in Morongo

We'd always wanted to take this walk and our friends were in town, so we all said 'let's do it!'  We drove out to Big Morongo Canyon Preserve and took the 'Canyon trail' that heads down toward Desert Hot Springs. It's a beautiful trail, with all the Cottonwoods and grasses just beginning to leaf out. You walk down through the canyon with the stream on your left,  and gradually come to a small pond, where you cross over the stream and then continue on, as the canyon heads west. We only went about 2 or 3 miles, where we found a nice lunch spot under a palm tree (how'd that get there?) and after a nice repast, headed back up the trail. I couldn't stop taking pictures the whole way down and back, it was so beautiful. Here are a few from the day.
