Just add water...

The desert has its own natural beauty, more easily seen when walking through than viewing at a distance.
But around Palm Springs and the Coachella valley, the desert climate added to the abundance of water (with some human intervention) makes a very different "desert".
The simple life
The simple life		 Add some water...
Add some water...		 and egrets dance
and egrets dance		 or watch the sunrise.
or watch the sunrise.
The ground turns green
The ground turns green		 It was this big, honest!
"It was this big, honest!"		 Morning shower
Morning shower		 Evening shower
Evening shower
Bouganvilleas greet the morning sun
Bouganvilleas greet the morning sun		 Egrets check their makeup
Egrets check their makeup		 Coots make long shadows...
Coots make long shadows...		 ...or watch old coots try to shoot coots.

Guard duty
Guard duty		 Even an underwater patrol
Even an underwater patrol		 Ducks make circles
Ducks make circles		 and another day begins.
and another day begins.

Nice shots Gary - you sure know how to capture morning/afternoon light & continue to inspire us all to get out and just have a go!
