Finally getting around to blogging these lovers from the desert earlier this year. Palm Springs is a sight to behold and adding in these two made it an absolutely gorgeous night. They had the place all to themselves so they ran, laughed, stole some kisses, and nestled under the mountains as the sun was setting.
