10 Things to do in Palm Springs

1.  Visit Old Town La Quinta <a href="http://www.oldtownlaquinta.com/index.html" target="_blank">Old Town La Quinta</a> is beautiful! The archways, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltillo_tile" target="_blank">Saltillo</a> tiles, the flowers, the mountains, every building is lovely to look at. It is an experience, not just pulling up to some strip center on the highway. The bogenvilia was beautiful climbing up the columns.  I love Saltillo tiles, especially on star risers. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8aY0jhRKdHIAhmdQPV8eKMJkCGalo0145QOF-Gw94bs_joLmA-943qfNluXtKXtOce7eY6LJFq4WcW7NgOIl-QDyR-e2KimpwsMt0Tsy83hEQlT67GPo5fPxFIRmwHR1wz-d2FvHmOiZR/s1600-h/image12.png"><img alt="Old Town La Quinta" border="0" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxVJNaiZ_3RetChdrr9-xqnQNKP6uNUdodTs9eLxnEj6ZGR9VmlgISJLvzaU1yWqBK4SIvylPB49xKi5kC-r-IDAcaj88f6CmGwZ9dp2jsLqQVvHS-HsD0XUWVo8hE15hj9tOiKHO5vYHn/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Old Town La Quinta" width="500" /></a>  Old Town La Quinta Palm Springs <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg36V8tJFt_nxygPXAyvHxc9SMJxiMExZ08UmW3UfJGwizapxCbVzxka8JiI2PCrK9d4uPR8J1hb6VxkT_I7dtYi51vQueaWPZpMM_6mrobIjPATuxq8B5A7aSHb8l620ydLJWeeQEbN7Tg/s1600-h/PalmSpringsDec20100021.jpg"><img alt="Old Town La Quinta Porsche" border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifazh-1id2mOcrWQWfoshsqCZMZfYmEtYk-abr2Zv6iNB7UGALLsxh8BGjhOaKPp0Wa3Hj0o1MgXgSKds6iWAQrD1RT9BzPAteGo1QMY-ESq5qpCYTUY-kc8QRinhNaPQTSe_knI4fFULJ/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Old Town La Quinta Porsche" width="500" /></a> This is definitely my car of choice to drive in Palm Springs <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2_reBIXb2qkEy2iQYYaKDh06GvcCcwsXnNHqA-FL6Q2UwoN5X5Cjv8yxi6jBwrLOJpNWubXEoRCKyW7BKqT083YTx7LPNjMh4Drl1NzGoEyJet4bo-paIVHyvg9Id7P4lMSqx9fWNhESA/s1600-h/image7.png"><img alt="Old Town La Quinta Saltillo Tiles" border="0" height="473" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJdL1XN5aiVhdNYAj5f-j7IPLrUPx1JEl61_OjDdPcNyowZXJ7o0bHPmGEiZKyJoJaZzzBU659ykj9udN2U8BZOfykby05VhsbQ1YJ9wJ3OJjSxIY6NwAgXoiYJXCz2CKOglK1nyO-_8uQ/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Old Town La Quinta Saltillo Tiles" width="500" /></a>   Old Town La Quinta Saltillo tiles on stair risers <img alt="Carthusia Note Fiori di Capri Room Spray" height="281" src="http://www.carthusia.it/CarthusiaWeb/ShowProductImage?BINDATA_ID=106" title="Carthusia Note Fiori di Capri Room Spray" width="222" /> <img height="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiumSMjUQMPpdGjz6LzWunQGOWP0dENMKc1aWGYxoHaPfpKkSzZ-a7wcANQY3jsYL5Jtrlkzk6OnIWFtBqbYEmNttCYlb9HQxAy_BjriwaHRCWjQf0QTHQbzQClKZnNQJ5QZ9VR1-eByC8/s320/10+Things+to+do+in+Palm+Springs.png" width="260" /> Carthusia Note Fiori di Capri Home fragrance left /Caldi Caldi Boutique Old Town La Quinta Palm Springs Check-out the wonderful boutique <a href="http://www.caldicaldi.com/" target="_blank">Caldi Caldi</a>. I was lured into this home furnishings store by the most delicious smelling scent from Capri called <a href="http://www.carthusia.it/CarthusiaWeb/showpage/2" target="_blank">Note Fiori di Capri</a>, which apparently was the home fragrance used by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacqueline_Kennedy_Onassis" target="_blank">Jackie O</a> when she was in Capri. Now every time I spray this scent I am transported to another world and time. 2.  Go on a Palm Springs Windmill Tour When driving or flying into Palm Springs, one of the most striking sights you will see in the Coachella valley is the vast array of wind turbines that sprout from the desert floor. The words "wind turbine" have evolved into what the locals call windmills. My curiosity was piqued so we arranged a tour which was excellent.  Our tour guide Ken Huskey was very knowledgeable, with a lot of the facts and figures that went right over my head. But what did stick with me was how huge the windmills were close up.  To give you a perspective of the scale of these windmills (in the picture below on the left) if you look closely you can see the small figure of a maintenance person dangling from a wire. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiTGiLleH1T5vLHiMnYlC7QR7J9PKCy4B79Ah8MteNJPq_EfuYVYfaH5uxELLlb7OpDZwmXq3xx9Ax0MgpmpElQrTc4fFl5Lv9dFCruQIIAoHAOpa4qFYuYgQNBHjXlP_mkUQ1xzheGrKE/s1600-h/PalmSpringsDec20100041.jpg"><img alt="Palm Springs Windmills" border="0" height="188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM8FiUZvUMYq5PBpIOKhYMqOv8_JMtyXuzb9qWNvSVgdPHiTzJ5csx0sNJ2TUyihlr5wB-Ro1uSy89U2nB3-Z1pMyc9svCInVyLKYrCBNRQdKVr7yXFLc6-D3C4WDvJrmuVHikbRkNJ6oY/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Palm Springs Windmills" width="250" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcdE7PRf7v7a6B_KZRRVm4oDhlWMcyDHQK75iNDDbDulUIz4z_IYcHyO2KNefwcRiINrVv3RuPdXJA41PCYHCAGh4ji4OLyCmiX6SmF_v0qz6IVlKx0L9yHdDqNjMnovfgYLzY9wn4Z41M/s1600-h/PalmSpringsDec2010001.jpg"><img alt="Palm Springs Windmills" border="0" height="188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSmUdaq9XfzO-y2QLHUZHJ2AyH0BicqPuIYoLSfe_Tuj82P8A1Zup9incoqeX9Tg46i6kKJLHIj4B35l0aWTJDct1DxO-GQ_vjHZ9VNUZRdQ0ytXG_l8uG0SxUv6t_v4OR3gN9ndMvkfDy/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Palm Springs Windmills" width="250" /></a> Palm Springs Windmill Tour Coachella Valley <a href="http://www.thebestofthebesttours.com/tour3.html" target="_blank">Palm Springs Windmill Tour</a> at the Spa Resort & Casino. 3.  See a rainbow over the Palm Springs Desert mountains It was unfortunate on this trip to Palm Springs that there were heavy rainfalls which resulted in flooding and the closure of many roads, but I was fortunate to see this beautiful rainbow one afternoon when the rain had stopped. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNPD1N7i_8Kz7DSjv3XNYoZCWFuwqgiyJQBA9IWVzg8s6XP6ZfFwYmQFLCTSD5ZYAlbn8wSbxOFT_aBnrHu1iwxqfQbbjFC7uKQWqJxSFE4BcNy4-3SeQ0KFd3YrHY93lAUUeLhLw45DB1/s1600-h/PalmSpringsDec20100098.jpg"><img alt="Rainbow over the Little San Bernardino Mountains Palm Springs " border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEQAskjRFKWHm13qdLxgBAzXb7bLu8bTFLNBp645HRvVdz_YcckMb7vRr7zP9779-WrXFpPuPFbKtCncI2K4fG79Ed_szQx6XhlBEhj9FWfI7h342AHYDeZ3JCp-Oc1x95wMvlgiv8N01K/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Rainbow over the Little San Bernardino Mountains Palm Springs " width="500" /></a> Rainbow over the Little San Bernardino Mountains Palm Springs 4.  Richard Avedon Photography Exhibit at the Palm Springs Art Museum The Richard Avedon photography exhibit at the <a href="http://www.psmuseum.org/exhibitions/current_exhibition.php?id=39" target="_blank">Palm Springs Art Museum</a> runs through January 30, 2011 and showcases 90 black and white images of notable Avedon subjects including Marilyn Monroe, Bob Dylan and, of course, some of the Richard Avedon’s iconic shots of Dior’s early work.  I went to the Museum with friends not knowing what was showing. I have long admired Avedon’s photography from afar, so you can imagine my delight in being able to see his iconic photographs up close. His photography is mesmerizing and I had to be dragged out of the exhibit.  I quickly rushed into the Gift Shop and bought Avedon postcards and the Richard Avedon book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Woman-Mirror-1945-2004-Richard-Avedon/dp/0810959623/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1294522483&sr=1-5" target="_blank">Women in the Mirror</a>, so I could continue to feast my eyes on his work. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVWRIkrcTQc2gbW1GlrJEw9XQgx4UkVwDNToIUhPpFX2J7eOMrmAk0HPZUasJPu8wk1gm89qxQJSMYN8SbiR6SnmeW_rI61MU9EZvLQwaqcYW6iK6jjLdimTyWBiKlui4HIiEv4CfZMzn7/s1600-h/image82.png"><img alt="Richard Avedon Palm Springs Art Museum " border="0" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQEdlGChuKHCwE3Rwu1U_rPzejvb0PbS6LqAwEnF1bbuNTwUtS4iS560qAy57GfLd8kaiomtGEqNMUWs6nblv9r47TIf6_MOKUckc9EoujQ-JwucL28pPOOjmQiYbtjJVaZsCV03Spe0uD/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Richard Avedon Palm Springs Art Museum " width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaB6gyZz94wXVNwiZQaUifYaa-UdmX9AEH0A6Nr6ciFFvWVOfEYmgRvJPsrCUPooMo1mN-X82xHzfzpss_7vcgopwU45hf1Y5M83-crKlYmiC37EO9Eq9lMvEwcKkPJYjViwOB4fAlvQ__/s1600-h/image313.png"><img alt="Richard Avedon Palm Springs Art Museum " border="0" height="293" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGjAPCnRb_y_JKwkmg3b-4B_6bsg7kkLfJ54yx0f7TgIr8pCBiKK3hI4dz2PfQ270zJAzMdPL7IRvaM17k7BOb0qA_sulwFHdZLhMWWpC42O8IciOr4Orhyy23IdMxmepWRF9AjhU4MNzC/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Richard Avedon Palm Springs Art Museum " width="244" /></a>            Richard Avedon, Self Portrait 1980 / <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Woman-Mirror-1945-2004-Richard-Avedon/dp/0810959623/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1294522483&sr=1-5" target="_blank">Amazon Book:</a> Women in the Mirror  <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGk-1jq8EuRAmLZSETGfiPDtb0yk9tmrWgvAu1mxzC3F5RT6CQwpIJrveJ5aDPr1qFaIzq5mgVuGeFpgjwZdv6YTNStrPPePSKOgs3nmudTdnrigt2CoVzI792M4orgBI_5qMq8dolljRf/s1600-h/image182.png"><img alt="Richard Avedon Palm Springs Art Museum " border="0" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW1sPdg_fGtm5Rl5TJCOeQpBec8vTlJK65zj_7KHcihdB3BNsjf6qcMwndnK1CxW3efd_1KIryusbPPEIIiUI5WrVM8HdtEESAqXGD-rW02SyJTNItUOnUaBoGDO2uRTxShyphenhyphencKfDzDdeQ8/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Richard Avedon Palm Springs Art Museum " width="179" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUg-uV471cG65VrWkHv412LWMYm_UTa8q_sKlue34i1MaMPWk3h9XWkT-ydfEk-TGqiurVTBh6FhBD6FIyQTTG3Bqnn2SpzGqwagBzVW-2jdEfcZLX06IewhJhSkTLe5UtwZHiGeQiWx-s/s1600-h/image1114.png"><img alt="Richard Avedon Palm Springs Art Museum " border="0" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8Zg9Pv_0bYdJVIgdct7ZYlVWiXCV3PjsXVnUZP7MQx6lDOG_3_01-Zqxe2-287K8c5jx_M8eiN7d8cU5r10z2_gBZ6roBBpzPLaZ-KoJ2bGCm_Mefd3AYlkf0ZIQZDCGcG9ksNxvQ0wCF/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Richard Avedon Palm Springs Art Museum " width="312" /></a> Richard Avedon, Twiggy 1968, gelatin silver print    <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZccLSspz-4XXRv31mUhs9_WCqIf9TqWQegYG_TKtrAzflJM8tXAQ7g1k8RkK80fhtlD4e9MtVJCQ_LlzMWhy6WleyfQhiuA9LSPcuP8Kg5Qd_OkNa7gSjxQNvK08KM5YE6NHPQZ0B5bW3/s1600-h/image252.png"><img alt="Richard Avedon Palm Springs Art Museum " border="0" height="325" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgegZdrhUVAJDmeUZF1cR9n1AA-NxpIciD6WrQHCxVlLfICpnFMgkZ9syDaGi8qQ1NXuN2RJc7Uo0ZqUOBNQIKVcVWrekd6j4SfazF5cx2KwFlozXACsYP6YWusildlZPH_Jve5uA_oHV5A/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Richard Avedon Palm Springs Art Museum " width="250" /></a>    Richard Avedon, Dovima with elephants 1955, Evening dress by Dior 5.

Below is what I had for Supper at Jillian’s, which was absolutely delicious.  I think the Apple Dumpling has to be the best desert I have ever tasted! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhCI4EnHlYcfFh8c0SvHf0LqikY4DyIefpTAAKfdk_pmlPfm4tSIlt6gZWlRhQUx2KXGlePljcjyR9kVVRHcg2HeZzNsUFnF-w9dTp_hD8N10UQeXDOaF_6GCaKsns7EEeSVbbTgQughAb/s1600-h/image%5B11%5D.png"><img alt="Jillian's Restaurant El Paseo Dive Palm Desert " border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigPpHBdUC71S83h5mJXImg0J55HpSHTQUZn-eaaHBjob5NOMX9KDzDeOhqfWxIAf3OQpLHc0nw_We-TGFI2bNBMWYt_sa6I5_tXdjrwCYsa-G5Xzovoc3GzJ-qNGOPMRsjFftPH05F3rJ7/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="Jillian's Restaurant El Paseo Dive Palm Desert " width="250" /></a>  Jillian's Restaurant El Paseo Dive Palm Desert Appetizer <a name="Appetizers">Tower of Fresh Crab</a>  <a name="Appetizers">Fresh Dungeness crab meat layered between diced avocado, sweet tomatoes and toasted brioche</a> Entree <a name="Entrees">Rack of Lamb Rack of Colorado Lamb rolled in Dijon herb crust, roasted and presented on a fresh Rosemary scented demi glace</a> Dessert <a name="Dessert">Apple Dumpling A tart apple cored and filled with cinnamon and pecans, encased in puff pastry, baked then drizzled with a luscious caramel sauce and served with vanilla bean ice cream</a> 8.

These Palm Springs therapeutic pools claim to be beneficial for arthritis and back pain, heart and diabetes, weight loss and insomnia. What I like best is that the water is odorless and tasteless.  It is a treat to swim in water that doesn’t smell like chlorine. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-3BGNObG2SbofujbaSBUJ1NFIHEQhO-LLVR-qds2jTrXiAFv2Snj7ItRGh6UPUe59hnP9VdZWrZnRsBRBOrSRbbqHhYknlaRFOGesmKE1qGDPW8aJ5VvGBxHEmPEW7xLba5fZH_09QRjr/s1600-h/PalmSprings31314.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7-4NaFb6TWwxgeXPaznSlWYSMNK5X4pWQHER8OQja3H7wVI6ML_tClhS33whOMtXdkWTaCc-AqxJ2S2HklEJFltKxgRMumR-WdU8VyKWoh70yhMx9vh__iPoU7dLMhLCaErK58evd55Fe/s1600-h/PalmSprings31311.jpg"><img alt="Palm Springs Natural Hot Mineral Pool" border="0" height="667" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiENXZCjxbiugWiOtxrIhpvg0FeRLHak7yWuq_syfDo6lo4IPtrGmnrYcHFVeSNWJ_f4-XdOVNlAuWixCQmx8RPEDwHqVzG3nJtTuxXOo8amoSETSm7ABxl09eBTD-LATCst75ksa0aIwEU/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="Palm Springs Natural Hot Mineral Pool" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.com/">PATRICIA GRAY INC</a> is an award winning interior design firm writing about lifestyle and WHAT'S HOT in the world of interior design, architecture, art and travel. <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/">2011 © Patricia Gray | Interior Design Blog™</a>

Palm Springs Thousand Palms Oasis

Two years ago when I first visited Palm Springs I remember driving past Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve in the Coachella Valley and thinking to myself how scruffy the palm trees looked and why on earth didn’t they not groom them. I guess that is how my mind works as an Interior Designer. On this trip I took time to visit the Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve and get to know the palm trees and their natural habitat. I have come away with a new appreciation for the natural beauty of the desert vegetation.    <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5mT-fEPkkn5nTnblyiqzM-CLeZwaa4bu5KG_7pUyvjsHoDBOSdWk7u8UgYChcwJfh2PpzEsxUseQpHp2LkHKgc3aMPO940d2u4xrT8h-Kh4UaUaJkwF_whXZc5AgkBjtauFXfQpMcYqfy/s1600-h/PalmSpringsDec201013711.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDtfybpML-xw9y2nGm1Z9sy3iAIk3pQC6B6x6h9KaC0DVu_1vxTmpMHzyiO9Vy2tik5AAijX7bXQxP-KVRCwzKOVHOGnnqUD0K_j996R6YkLZIrKOYMh_IrAAByCgdiEjZSpQ6vYqbhGNx/s1600-h/PalmSpringsDec201013750.jpg"><img alt="Palm Springs Dec 2010 137" border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhogJggQIoHxKScz830B7Hwva_jcFy-zaY99pqV7s31i8-Rj1QlNCaizutnwGuRQXlOE3HbZ6GKXKsMoO0iMrAZKOremAmGE4HuUkxhW-tqmswCfmzWDm0ytTvmicMSu-hSQTOtQkLu4iXX/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="Palm Springs Dec 2010 137" width="500" /></a></a></a>Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve   <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4FOhGjataa20D3S6mFyLwn0A_rx5xig1Ui_oT-WWFSccgtGS9eBIcd2o6xvAwZdCsPL3XLtnr8MpuYXR5_aGN9CTPqS-Nj3gpoX7W2jBQ6CGqDFkKyMaF2X7VVDlZu1IvZrTP4Jv5UWuA/s1600-h/PalmSpringsDec201008526.jpg"><img alt="Palm Springs Dec 2010 085" border="0" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAUmtiUYFdigy0QXnyYb5hyWI-PlsOk57B5__wMOiStbxi4_gm-2G-5Mo3xsTOJPG5Sp02AdrepPBJvvIgJ-uK3SB2690hFcrh3GPqI9qKMLXLT2ijJ8kYxdrT8nbN_AHoPNTTiM8LKywg/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="Palm Springs Dec 2010 085" width="500" /></a> Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve    The species of palm tree at Thousand Palms Preserve, know as Washingtonia filifera, has a very thick trunk and grows slowly to about 45 feet. Their life span is 150 to 200 years. The dead leaves hang vertically and form what is called a skirt around the trunk. This ‘skirt’ is a home and refuge for numerous birds, insects and lizards. Fruit stalks, extend beyond the leaves and bear masses of tiny white to cream colored flowers. During this time of year, large clusters of small hard fruit hang from the tree. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvWFnGDNxUewG4dFlSvB1DwBlpOlNqhxDNKHzmm5geYilS28Snpf5yN-hcOaiphakUHu_Ljbxl4VY3xJFHsxiK0imH4hoz4BW_BsXuWcxjgBKsJ2uqDefmXwTNaeZt3U9lSGF5nTWTWLwS/s1600-h/PalmSpringsDec201009816.jpg"><img alt="Palm Springs Dec 2010 098" border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGy8OtHV9NJWyy3T8CVB0ukViORFqQltKO9AT0qSTbe4UKgENaUWXY_fymYDaTe1B8AJMfCnsWBS-Q4vylcaSPy4N-TcsCGwxiVwAyY1ihj51CA_JpEJsVqSKPL8lEvtvGHaq3ooOxE2uz/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Palm Springs Dec 2010 098" width="500" /></a>  This ‘skirt’ of the Washingtonia palms is a home and refuge for numerous birds, insects and lizards.  One hundred and eighty animal species inhabit the Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDW_0aO7Qf84b2rTZxmdpdnq63K-6mvlOmOJMpUfF3eImJmgZmjGl2o9kdLwvCjbdM83zTmFRIAgNyOHop89AikDl3Jbi4-61U99HcBz8SoT5pXMXKkX2NRDsUHXv4fdR7ua9mE2FUWeuZ/s1600-h/PalmSpringsDec20101349.jpg"><img alt="Palm Springs Dec 2010 134" border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeA4nQr-FTvQ1mpmM5Q15uZytgK9KMjCnX7rK3wWIJTx2Gbw9pdhP4Bje-wePXX7nA4Xvu-5WIHKoeJ4R4VWqHmKk5OhRECIZ42WG26P4PKspfpGjZJM_EPBrbZgcN_gStKrkFZlmrZeJ1/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Palm Springs Dec 2010 134" width="500" /></a>  Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve is surrounded on either side by the Indio Hills. A few weeks ago a sudden flash fire erupted (cause is not know) on the other side of the mountain from the Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve. In a matter of minutes a whole grove of the Washingtonia filifera were up in flames. It caused quite a stir in the community with locals and environmentalists. In talking with the caretaker of the Thousand Palms Preserve I was told that as long as the very top of the palm tree was not totally burnt it has a chance to re new its growth from the top, however the skirt will not re grow and hence the home for local insects, birds and lizards is lost. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh45h2DLZppcecHnuV511V6KH3ZpzXBJFNXG4yMTyNP47j3F9YxvBRd1ZRjy-BRisP-98UiDA2cMzbLtNGM2DidoOpOZ-npJ9cOHjU0_82T8CORbc0boQylc5_jc7dx2lpWf4fO1vJ7Z68u/s1600-h/PalmSpringsDec201009915.jpg"><img alt="Palm Springs Dec 2010 099" border="0" height="667" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMkkT3s1RGXUamym9rk2BgO8Mx0G6tow9pOqFNu8xu1Ft9Ic28RN5O7nAyLdyOQReKpC6N-uimE2s2dEY3pr5FEljVUibyf_3LpYzcaR9lm3jQnRUP5E9PTO8MHbGS0-4c-bZM3OBPgezj/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="Palm Springs Dec 2010 099" width="500" /></a> A burnt out palm trunk from a fire in the 70’s at Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve has never grown new palm fronds. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOfJaXHPftl09ZwvLZbRRWXXCSB1g47AD-ownQ0m9HRusISmux5sAaP2XyuzjFhp2ZcOk9QeKRig2oscD4xAkT4vP8n9xEXL2ixUoZ99R9u3H8zBnG8IodNmYmZg622tb3kIvYpYJxY_Wd/s1600-h/PalmSpringsDec20100561.jpg"><img alt="Palm Springs Dec 2010 056" border="0" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc7nTxTptjRvDXJZ0QHhl857xoFMSo8Woch-QEDVsGpsqF6W02n6Y2X00l6ai_skkwHzEaAeJ7BM4bSkvmb20ooi-hlgMKi8k38fVUOPNYHZr4bea376zSLgBCMMsAn_vwx2B2TAkq6vSg/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Palm Springs Dec 2010 056" width="500" /></a>  <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuM1L0ENkb_RpKnhr1stQRLMkM8uTboeWb-dBeVqxIP3deUHu_2oHzOSKL6u2zOKp_Sj8pQxBIlU94EG8iQI2pzTb-XXsOy-8pOrpQDrBQtAZg5vApzLMUgbSyJBEH3iWI_VsyiFfesb4Y/s1600-h/PalmSpringsDec20100673.jpg"><img alt="Palm Springs Dec 2010 067" border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgqBE83E_fuOzwv32dwXCY7eRlQ6ziBkHO4ZxS5p3Vd4USNG784dHtmWZRkqun2bSQft89_sniYSl2wbMIvU8ySkguwleh9y1-tb4l4MNDWjCUqn4-qonZizoJ1Jx_V5JioeElEoNQdp_v/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Palm Springs Dec 2010 067" width="250" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Urv26YWhdVFkSD3wvkucLHDwiNMtZBD_FwbKFxMKUP662L_TqPB_S5tEMosUSjRIdjeuESQT3vVjXqMkT43ryPpgSJAloEPmtM9OSbFiGdfpx0lt9X_eDijnzD0e2opLRTK9F4yvMUhn/s1600-h/PalmSpringsDec20100661.jpg"><img alt="Palm Springs Dec 2010 066" border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCkh069KGxEXI3r6BGtwdRPQAT07i37x5Vlatd7mhiEPtdKi6Yd3DYwHKkwZaEHmZx7DLEolnuXJwLJREC-JTijk271EcRRfEoNN2A9Xub4xy57tCR_qWthSWttYjfebbCNw3OyFkuF1eq/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Palm Springs Dec 2010 066" width="250" /></a> Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve is located on the San Andreas Fault A natural spring feeds the area making the vegetation lush and green. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbxPDyZ_5Qqh-vLI19oqZJ3-Mrcj1BtR7m-2eESLFFp6dBAQ2t1fD7ikKDf7CRU5s2U_JNRQQWqPclmd8Wj7BFRX39DFH_yeXov5ycVEabixCTrbV45lpSbzeXmMKX93EvG1ElmZLL5mZa/s1600-h/PalmSpringsDec20101229.jpg"><img alt="Palm Springs Dec 2010 122" border="0" height="667" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzil0S9boIjaaJIBC2YIFSoBNG8QqLeG0EHbwtySY2YLgo-zTWe3I1ao9x4G08TYo4iyA_zKXVIfyFd7rT-9hEA9SkYCxsp3qYkHzWyWO49wtrwxgaXwO0BdG-RN-O-UOvmn-r4_pJ1L_a/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Palm Springs Dec 2010 122" width="500" /></a>  Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve palm fronds  <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTF4NVfva-jv99L6Dw_lQrukbZzJFBVdC6maJXplS8Q9jXixnpJZVvHVbvDAJ0UoZCu0OR0z9n920Mi01ovVv5igfeQVO7PJMUKXyDW3SmlGCviB90_Rd9xHiXQ37BYfdTr447i30HTyYE/s1600-h/PalmSpringsDec201012315.jpg"><img alt="Palm Springs Dec 2010 123" border="0" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI5jrEz5eEV-WW1odJN6_5EJWs2wyyo3_-0I62BSo0eeglKneuA6osAYDQNQ7YVpLn8L4UgrolKD1pHLqcZUqvG6hTz0ETcFAxiAvytavsdEHtoiEIcgzKWqUnQgLsLw3zSoxjGMMoeMSe/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Palm Springs Dec 2010 123" width="500" /></a> The base of an uprooted palm tree at Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve.
