The Palo Verde tree is in full bloom in the desert area on the other side of the mountains from where I live.  Somewhere in the bunch of photos I took yesterday, I have a picture of the whole magnificent tree; but my system of keeping track of photos, and even of the day, has become confused.  Margaret and I got back late from a long museum-sponsored bus ride to and from The desert cities, Palm Springs and Palm Desert. I tried to solve the problem late last night, and wasn't successful.  The three photos here are from a desert garden outside the museum in Palm Desert.  I'll post more later, but these three photos from yesterday's trip confirm my fascination with trees.
