Went exploring in the Nevada desert today. Found a place, Moapa Warm Springs - an oasis in the desert. There were all these tall wild palm trees growing along the banks of the Muddy River (what most of us would call a creek - but any flowing water in the desert here is called a river). The palms crowded the shore, creating a cathedral over the river. You could walk the river (the water was warm - about 86 degrees - from geothermal springs nearby) and be totally surrounded by these huge palm trees. What a fun place to explore. The place was once owned by Howard Hughes. Update 2012: Found out that this place burned to the ground last year. What a shame...

This has a 'another world' look to it.
Perfect placement of the palm frond lower left - it looks like a fan.
Thanks for sharing this exceptional natural beauty.
