parker

on the way home from the desert darci and i stopped in palm springs and lived it up by staying at the parker... unfortunately due to the wind storm all the power was out, but after conning them into giving us a room with low power on the back up generator it kind of made it all the cooler. i could explore the grounds there over and over if i could afford it.

wing span

a humming bird built a nest in our backyard...it was mesmerizing... unfortunately it was low to the ground and was snatched up before i could have all my dreams come true of seeing a baby humming bird (and stealing it and raising it as my own). it brought back all of my childhood days spent under bushes every time i went to go check on it.

determination

i'm determined to catch up on this and i'm also overwhelmed trying to catch up on a years worth of photos ..but i gotta start somewhere, this is the closest thing to a journal i keep. last january darci and i went on a trip to the desert and stayed at a real fun site in joshua tree, where they refurbish old trailers for a  "trailer palace". bascally its luxury camping...which happens to be my favorite kind. despite the massive wind and sand storms we got hit with we headed to the desert for rock and treasure hunting and were not disappointed .. even the weird way maps told us to go led to such beautiful hidden spots. and anywhere there are rocks and bones i'm pretty happy to be also.
