On December 28, 2009, we hiked the Carrizo Canyon Trail near Highway 74 in Palm Desert, California. We were hoping to see some Bighorn sheep that day. Unfortunately, we didn't see any sightings of the sheep, however, we enjoyed the beautiful scenic atmosphere. Hope you enjoy the video.

Just as I was taking this video of a plant called the Chuparosa, a Hummingbird flew right in front of my viewfinder. Now that's what I call lucky! The tiny bird was getting nectar from the tubular red flowers.

Jim spotted a poisonous plant called Jimson Weed on our hike. Jimson weed is also known as Jamestown weed because of the mass poisoning of soldiers in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1676.
