Nobody in Palm Springs covered celebrities like Gloria Greer. After all she was one herself. She died last year and we all miss her. She interviewed me for my book "Digital Art Photography for Dummies" in 2005.

Rare Mojave Desert Tortoise Spotted

While jogging today just outside Demuth Park, I ran into this rare desert tortoise. This creature lives to be 50-80 years. Incredible! What a find. It must have weighed at least 10 pounds. Should I have caught it? Who knows if it will survive in the environment around the Water Park and golf courses.
