Reflection's Flora and Fauna
A collection of my photos of flora and fauna, and maybe now and then,
something else that catches my attention and just will not let go.
Maybe even with little verbage, which is pretty hard for this gal.

Wow Carol, I have never seen those before. Interesting. Are they eatable?

Gini, I believe they may be, the La Quinta area is the second largest in the country/world for production,

see this post on Reflections:

Heading over to read your write up...I had no idea that was in Palm Springs and we have stayed right where I think you are! We have hung out in Palm Springs so many times...never did I know about these Date Palm trees! Thank you!

Gini, go over to Airport Road also known as 56th, by the Desert Resorts Regional Airport. Thermal is at intersection of 56th and 111, this is west of that, but that entire stretch in there is JAMMED with date palm trees.

This particular specimen I took in LaQuinta tho.
