Last night we attended the grand opening of the Borrego Springs Art Institute. Hundreds of people attended. Some from San Diego, others local, and lots of part timers like us.
The wine and food was free and all the art exhibited was for sale. 
This eagle, sculpted from wood was done by Paul Jorgenson, a local artist who also also created and sold bowls, spoons, spatulas, and furniture.
I met Paul while participating in the “Hawk Watch” project a few years ago. He loved birds and he love working with wood. Unfortunately, Paul died last year from a terminal cancer.
Sunday morning we met up with a group of 13 others to hike to the Lute Fault Scarp. This was an easy 3 mile loop across the desert, gaining about 300 feet.
One of the men was an amateur geologist and gave us a very informed explanation of the this particular fault in relationship to the other more known fault, the San Andreas.
