We took a weekend to use some free night points Gordon had accumulated from his staying at hotels travels and stayed at the Miramonte Resort and Spa in Palm Desert. We decided that going to a resort in the winter to the desert was better than going during the summer. It was our first resort experience and we loved it. But we also loved the many things to go out and do in the areas close to our resort. There are many great nature centers in this are. We went to one that had hikes and guided wild flower nature walks from the nature center. We did the wild flower guided walk and loved it.
Our nature tour guide knew so much about the plants here. He would point out to so many wild flowers, plants, bushes and trees here. It was overwhelming!
The guide giving Gordon one of the plants to smell
This kind of bushes were everywhere here. They have no color but I think they are beautiful
Trying to photograph those curly white vines growing round many of the plants
Plants were labeled
A bird resting and blending so nicely at the top of this tree
This tree does not ever have leaves because its trunk and branches are green and do the work the leaves do.
closer look at the branches of this tree that does not need leaves
At the end of the walk at the nature center, they had snakes there. Yes this is me touching this snake.
