Palm trees are always such a special treat for me.
Day...

| Taken at a gas station- can you believe it? |
or night...

| Did you see the crescent moon? |
Peacock Flowers in the afternoon sun:
Poolside beauties:
Bougainvillea- the flower that tells me I'm in a place that I'm about to fall in love with:
The lemon tree in the background sent me home with
fruit that has become jelly, and I call it 'sunshine in a jar'...
The Palm Springs Art Museum with a polished reflection of natural surroundings
that contrasts with the modern art hiding inside the building:
Hard to believe all of this exists in a hot, dry desert
where water is scarce and the sun beats down 350 days a year.
Somehow, beauty that endures less than ideal conditions is even more alluring...
