walk: big morongo canyon preserve

It’s a non-gardening post!

I did a 10k walk today in Morongo Valley, north of Palm Springs. I was invited by a friend and was eager to do a 10k walk. Knowing that it could get a little toasty and the desert not being my favorite place…I was really more excited by the walking itself and the company. It turns out it was a lovely walk over a great variety of terrain.

There were wildflowers.

There was a marsh that reminded me of Florida swamps.

I even saw a snake! But didn’t get the camera out quick enough. I think it was a King Snake.

There was also plenty of evidence of the 2004 fire.

It was a bit warm at times, but there was usually a breeze that kept things just right. It was a very nice day.

Gratuitous post of a pic I really like.

    That last shot is SO WEIRD. It looks like bizarre people from some ancient cult, harvesting something in a field. Bending over picking some crop.

    That’s sort of what I saw too. It’s like a group of Kokopeli.
