Blue skies, rugged mountains
Trees laden with grapefruit, ripe for the picking
Christmas poinsettias among a riot of color
Peaceful fountains
The view from our room
More ridiculous grapefruit trees
Sparkly pool water
Beach balls and hot tubs
What the hell is that?
A little closer
Could it be?
Could it actually be....?
Holey mackerel! It's Santa!
When Santa lands at your feet, it's hard to get a clear photo...
But it was definitely The Man
The tree was dark,
and then there was light.
One night in Palm Springs, crashing with my friends -- who needs Christmas?

This was wonderful, Elizabeth. I had such a great time, and I wasn't even there! At first, I thought it was Santa Barbara when I saw the tiled roofs and the paraglider, but I guess that these wonders exist everywhere. Wonderful photos! Merry, Merry

I'd say you've already drunk every drop of Christmas Magic that anyone could want.
Wow.
Amazing.
Thank-you.
Honest to god, the clarity of the desert air, and all the flowers that don't really belong there, always makes me feel like I've dropped acid.
Enjoy!
I forget it's not Ohio November everywhere...
such a fun series of photos!
Love these! Clearly Santa is on a quick vacay before he gets down to serious business. Cannot believe that you captured these so well!
Oh for more Christmases like these, Elizabeth. Wonderful.
California can be a crazy, beautiful, ridiculous place :)
The only reality is its magic.
Looks absolutely wonderful,especially the grapefruits.
Wonderful! I am so glad you got away. Hope you do lots of zany things. xo
That there is the TRUE meaning of Christmas.
california magic, that's for sure! small (or large) escapes from reality are always welcome...
Fabulous! Love this entire post!
Looks like you've had the best of Christmas already. So glad you and the boys got this respite! And that you shared your photojourney.
Your header photo of Sophie is my all-time favorite. Dreamy, wistful, organic, the pulse of life.
