The condo my partner Tony bought in Palm Springs...
...is a modest little one-bedroom in a ten-unit complex with a swimming pool and 51 palm trees...
...but the neighborhood it is sitting in is quite a few scales up the economic ladder from our current and probable future estate.
Most of our neighbors own huge, detached homes...
...with small armies of Mexican gardeners taking care of their foliage and palm trees...
...for visits during Palm Spring's society "season," which starts about now and continues through April.
The neighborhood is bounded by Palm Canyon Drive (Palm Springs' main drag) to the east, the San Jacinto mountains to the west, and the famous Tahquitz canyon (below) to the south.
You'd think there would be nowhere left for real estate developers to try and create luxury developments in the neighborhood, but then underestimating the greed of real estate developers is usually a bad bet.

Thanks for the suburban desert hike, esp the birds taking off. I'll have to book a weekend now that the season is starting. Happy New Year to you & Tony.
Peace & Love
