It was very enjoyable. There is actually a lot to do out in the Anza-Borrego desert. There are hiking trails and several flower fields that have great sceneries – very nice for photos if you’re thinking about having a photo shoot for self portraits in a natural setting. There is also an Oasis, but I didn’t make it there to see it (next time I’ll definitely go there). At about this time the weather is very nice and cool – so if you’re planning on going out there, I recommend going now. Anytime later, say towards the summer will be very hot. I took some pictures – hope you all enjoy them. :)
