Nature Guide

Here is where you can find a guide to some plants/animals that have been seen with my own eyes and photographed with my own camera! Please send me your photos, and help me add to and improve this guide!

Oleander, not a typical mountain plant, but this one seems to be doing well.
Scrub Oak, with Jim looking on.
Mojave Yucca, with two heads
Mystery plant. Help me identify it, please!
Prickly Pear Cactus
Staghorn Cactus
The mighty Pinyon Pine, rising high above the house.
Juniper. Note the little berries, the local rabbits love to eat them.
Another Juniper
A very rare sight, the Horned Lizard.
Local rabbit, a very common sight.
Bighorn Sheep. Rare indeed to spot these! Your best chance is to look down the steep hill on the way down to Palm Desert on the 74 Highway.

PLEASE SEND IN YOUR PHOTOS AND DESCRIPTIONS! I HOPE TO ADD MORE, MUCH MORE!! briannomi@yahoo.com
