We are parked here in Borrego Springs 
on a small hill about 6 miles south of the main downtown. Looking out our windows we get a panoramic view of a couple of mountain ridges. On cloudy days, watching the changing cloud patterns on the mountains is a lot like watching the waves on the ocean.
We have our humming bird feeder in place and there are 3 different varieties or at least 3 different color variations of the birds that come to feed.
About 3 miles down the road is our supply of grapefruit and oranges. It's an on your honor system and for $3 a bag we keep up our fruit intake. The fruit is grown in groves surrouding the stand.
One of the new additions to Borrego Springs is a display of sculptures done by Ricardo Breceda. He was commissioned by Dennis Avery, who is heir to Avery/Dennisen Label products and owns hundreds of acres of property in and arround Borrego Springs. The property is open to the public for walking, picnicing, and camping. The sculptures are scattered among the properties he owns.
The other evening we joined with several other couples for happy hour in the shadow of elephants. These were some of the newest works.
A few miles away on the other side of downtown are the camels and other prehistoric beasts.
I'm not sure what you would call this one. It looked like a friar in the desert.
There are more that we have not seen including birds, turtles, sloths and reptiles. As we find them we'll post more pictures.
