Steve and I spent the end of last week in Palm Springs. We had some great food, enjoyed the game room and pool at the time share, and went to The Living Desert.
When I went to The Living Desert as a kid, I remember it being a lot of fun to see all the native animals and plants, and I was excited to share it with Steve. But a lot has changed since I was a kid. In the past decade or so, they have managed to bring Africa to the California desert.
We took at least 80 pictures, but I’ll just post the best here.
Barrel Cactus Garden
Black-Crowned Night Heron (I just thought it was really beautiful)
Steve gets a hug from a Cactus
East African Crowned Crane
Fluffy Flowers (we don’t know what they were, but they look nice)
Leopard
We hang in the Cactus Garden
I hang with a Warthog (the real one is in the background)
An Ostrich Poses
Poison Dart Frog
Baby Giraffe
Roadrunner on top of Shade Umbrella
Steve with African Ocotillo in the Madagascar Garden

So are native american animals just not cool enough? A cougar can't match a leopard? Who wants a pecary when you can have a warthog?
Your pictures are fantastic! A couple of years ago, Bernell and I did the same thing and spent a time share stay in that area. The desert has it's own kind of beauty.
