Post by: Judi_bk on 24 Feb, 2020, 07:45:11 am

We went to Desert Springs then on to the coast for lunch.  The walk up from the entrance is a delight

One of my most favourite places as I love cactus and succulents as well as the fish pond!  Great pictures, Judi.  The sculptures are amazing.
If anyone is ever tempted to stop and pick an orange to eat on the way up - don't!  I did it once and they are seville oranges and incredibly bitter.  Perfect if you are making marmalade!

Used to play golf there several years ago and lost many golf balls in some of that delightful scenery. If you found them Judi, don't worry you can keep them as my golf days are well and truly over. No problem, I wasn't that good at it anyway! :smiley:

Could be Judi, as I spread mine far a wide over Almeria when I played with the local golf societies.  :embarrassed:
