No, not the kittens (what, do you think I’ve stopped writing about anything else?)…sculptures!

We drove out to Borrego Springs this weekend for some hiking, and in the meantime managed to see some of the ultra-fun sculptures that have been put up this year.I had forgotten all about them until we suddenly noticed the giant steel mammoths along the side of the road heading into town.

There are about a dozen installations set up around town (although we only saw the three southern ones). The sculptures represent different animals that roamed the Borrego Valley in prehistoric times – mammoths, saber-tooth tigers, camels, and giant sloths! We’re already planning another trip to go see the wildflowers in the spring, so we’ll go back and see all the ones we missed then…
