These little boys were playing at Indian Canyons in Palm Springs, California. I think someone got a nice souvenir from the trading post! And, his Super Man shirt is a curious mix with his feather headband?

Window Views and Doors Too / South Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, California
This old deserted out building can be found on the road to Indian Canyons just south of Palm Springs, California, on South Palm Canyon Road. We hiked in Palm Canyon just this past weekend. The winter months are so perfect for desert hiking.

Outdoor Wednesday / Indian Canyons (Palm Canyon), California
In the vicinity of Palm Springs, California the Agua Caliente Cahuilla Indians settled centuries ago. They developed complex communities in the Palm, Murray, Andreas, Tahquitz and Chino Canyons. With an abundant water supply , the plants, animals and Cahuilla Indians thrived. Evidence of their lives in these canyons still remains today if you are willing to take the hiking trails to get back into Indian Country and see for yourself. My husband and I enjoy these hiking adventures but, haven't covered even a fraction of the distance available for exploring on foot.
We have spent time in Palm, Murray and Andreas Canyons in the past, but, Palm Canyon was our destination this past Sunday. This canyon is 15 miles long and is one of the areas of great beauty in North America and is considered the world's largest California Fan Palm Oasis. Many of the trees have been singed with fire from lightning strikes during the monsoon seasons. And, notice the fall colors in early January!
These photos were taken in Palm Canyon. The winter weather was perfect for an outdoor hiking adventure. In fact, winter is about the only season that is welcoming in this harsh desert landscape.

Macro Monday, That's My World Tuesday / Desert Hummingbirds
I photographed these little hummingbirds at Indian Canyons, Palm Springs yesterday. There are several canyons in this area and we actually visited Palm Canyon. My husband and I went on a hike and were delighted to see several dozen hummingbirds hovering around bird feeders at the trail head there.
