On a photo field trip on Thursday, I saw this sign pole at a cactus nursery and garden shop in the little town of Morongo Valley, California. I'm not so sure about all the mileage--I think Niagara Falls is really supposed to be 2,496 miles--but I thought it a fun sign. To find this in a little town of under 3,500 population seemed a little ironic, but maybe if you live there you want to shoot for the moon and the stars! 11/9/19 Judith Sparhawk
These fun metal dinosaur sculptures greeted me at the gate of the nursery/garden shop I visited in Morongo Valley, CA. This was the site of an art gallery as well (posted a couple of days ago), and there was a resident cat and several resident chickens. You can tell this is a very small town (about 3,000 people), with a quite limited number of businesses. It is close to Joshua Tree National Park and the Big Morongo Canyon Preserve, an excellent birding location. 12/5/19 Judith Sparhawk
I had lunch with a friend yesterday at a cute little restaurant, Granlund's, in Yucaipa, CA. As I was leaving, this window attracted my attention, so took a quick cell phone shot of it. It took some filtering to adjust for the difficult lighting, and I'm not sure it does it justice, but it captures a bit of the feeling I had when I saw it. 12/19/19 Judith Sparhawk
