How I spent my winter vacation

Stupid Facebook and their new picture viewing mode has made it difficult to link to picture location sources, so these are smaller.



Even though we did drive through it several times, we never did make it to Downtown Palm Springs. But, we don't care for touristy shopping, crowded restaurants or loud bars.

Breakfast in Palm Springs


These can be found in the Colorado Desert part of Joshua Tree


The bluest skies


Gray bouquet


Oasis


I'd pick him up!






Husband on a rock




Cheburashka on horseback


Reindeer




The Joshua Tree, which grows in the Mohave Desert part




Skull rock. That white on his nose is snow, I swear!


I call this one Precarious Rock




Here's the page about Noah Purifoy











Horsey




The new ИЗНАКУРНОЖ?


Or this one?


Lunch tray DNA






Neptune?




I love this place - it's totally desolate and freaky. You look at a map, and there are streets laid out, and when you get there all you see is tumbleweeds with the occasional house (some of which look OK, some quite dilapidated). Read about Salton City here.

Fish heads, fish heads, roly poly fish heads

They don't wear sweaters


Tiny oasis


Salton City


Bombay Beach
We ate at the Ski Inn with some random hippies, just like Anthony Bourdain.

Can't you make them bigger? "Small is small. I like big!" (c)

Not without a shitlot of additional steps, I don't think. Andy set up an image server space for me, but it would be a huge PITA to first upload the pix there and then source-link to them here. Fucking Facebook!
