My favorite spot
to visit this past weekend was
one of the most photographed
places in Palm Springs this season.
It's the ranch-style house of
mirrors
located on Racquet Club Road in Palm Springs.
Artist Doug Aitken covered every
surface of this mid-century style
home in mirror.
It reflects the surrounding desert
landscape
in the most beautiful ways,
and each time of day is
different.
Each time you visit will be a new
experience.
It’s the ultimate mirage in the
desert!
April is also the perfect month to
visit
the “Living Desert”.
It’s another fabulous family-friendly
excursion in Palm Desert,
filled with gorgeous native and exotic
animals
The grounds are an interesting tapestry of
authentic cacti and other desert plants.
A truly beautiful place!
Among some of my favorite animals there were
the
mountain lions, fennec foxes and
giraffes.
And where else in the US can you
get to ride a camel?
Giraffe feeding is
also a popular activity at the
Living Desert.
It’s so fun to get up close and
personal
with these huge and amazing
creatures!
But I think our favorite activity
there was
visiting the butterfly exhibit.
I’ve never seen such beautiful butterflies
anywhere else.
Here’s a fun little guy I captured
on my smart phone…
