As a teenager growing up in colder climes east of the rockies I first saw a real palm tree in Northern California. Somehow it held me in a trance and ever since I love looking at them. The small groups of palms I saw then are nothing compared to groves in, well, Palm Springs. This view is actually in Palm Desert at the Marriott Desert Springs Hotel and there were hundreds of palms in a single view with about a dozen towering over all the rest. Throw in a nice mountain, fancy hotel, swimming pool, sunset, and you have all the ingredients of a classic winter afternoon in the desert.
