Timing is everything. I am signed up for an art walk in May, but this will have to do.
I March, we too a short drive up to see some of the wildflowers blooming. This is just a few miles above Palm Desert on Highway 74 (goes to San Diego if you keep going).
We took a short WALK, (not a hike). It seemed as if the rocks themselves were blooming!

Other desert plants were also beautiful close up.


Our longest walks take place in Italy, or have shopping involved!

LOL, Palma. I was really surprised to see your photos for this theme. I opened your blog expecting to see a street full of shops!!

Those are some beautiful desert flower pictures. Marta always heads to the desert in spring too.

I wondered how you'd cope with walking! LOL I had hoped to see a pic of you walking from shop to shop with Brad's every growing armfuls of pourchases! These are great pics - Paul and I will have to go there when we're next in PD!
