Mountain fence and clouds~Friday's Fences~041213

This was a couple of weeks ago up in our local Santa Rosa mountains.  I love this spot.  It is at the entrance to Garner Valley and the posts are from an old thoroughbred breeding ranch, which is now a horse boarding ranch.  I don't keep my horses here.  I keep them down the hill a way.  But, I always love to stop here and admire the view.  Friday's Fences for April 12, 2013.   To visit Friday's Fences, please go to:   http://lifeaccordingtojanandjer.blogspot.com/

Lion~ABC Wednesday~040313

Not a real lion, for sure, but a model of a lion up at the LIVING Desert Reserve, in Palm Desert, CA.  He marks the spot of the planned LION enclosure there at the park.  I'm not sure when it will open, but I think it will be this year.  Anyway, don't you think he looks proud?  ABC Wednesday for April 3, 2013.  To visit ABC Wednesday, please go to:  http://abcwednesday-mrsnesbitt.blogspot.com/

Living Desert Reserve, Palm Desert~Our World Today~049213

Hubby and I have been going to the Living Desert Reserve here in Palm Desert for the last two mornings with our VERY pregnant daughter.  Still no granddaughter...sigh...Anyway, I went up by myself this afternoon.  Today I went up in the late afternoon, when the shadows are long.  The palo verdes are blooming there and the place is nearly covered with them.  It was very crowded Saturday morning due to an Easter egg hunt for kids.  There were people with strollers EVERYWHERE!  Sunday morning was quiet and this afternoon, I nearly had the place to myself!  I love the afternoon shadows, don't you?  It's so different from morning.  Our World Tuesday for April 2, 2013.   To visit OWT, please go to:   http://ourworldtuesdaymeme.blogspot.com/
