Description
Steve and I went down to Palm Springs last weekend. When we had checked an extended forecast a few weeks ago, it was giving us mid to high 70's and possibly even a low 80's day! I was so looking forward to some nice, warm weather, and was planning on relaxing by the pool and swimming while Steve golfed! Well....as the date of our trip got closer, the forecast started changing...and then it changed some more....and then it changed some more....until it ended up sticking around in the 50's, pretty much just like home! Uggg!! And yep, that's how it turned out to be! There was even a little rain! It did get up to about 62 one of the days, though, I think, and the sun was partly out. Such a bummer! Anyway, one of the days we went on a drive, and it was really beautiful with snow on the surrounding mountains! There was really heavy snow on parts! You don't usually think of getting snow while you're in Palm Springs, lol!! :)

Always love how the spines on those chollas light up, even when cloudy. Very beautiful black and white capture!
