Re: A Springtime Walk in the Desert
Great color and variety! Thanks...I'm going to have to get to the desert in spring, sometime. I visited the Sonora desert in December, and recognize some of these from seeing them without their brilliant display (click HERE for that blog) This is certainly a reminder of how little we know a place when we only know it "in season."

Re: A Springtime Walk in the Desert
How many times do folks say "Why did you go there ? There's nothing to see !" That's why I love going the opposite way from the crowd. Beautiful selection of photo's ! Any little beasties on the loose ?

There were a lot of these little lizards around, GarryRF. Generally a good sign because if there's rattlesnakes about they hide. Except for birds, everything else was well hidden.

Re: Dispatches from Ikaria: Part 1
Thanks! Greece is a lovely country - and very varied. The islands are great, but there is plenty to see on the mainland, too. We have enjoyed touring the Peloponnese and Meteora in the North. Ikaria, however, is our favourite part of the country.

A Springtime Walk in the Desert
I've been intrigued by deserts ever since I first visited one as a teenager. The first impression I remember having is of a lifeless, hostile and barren place. It's certainly a hostile environment but I couldn't have been more wrong...

Re: Wildflower Country, Western Australia
Thanks for the comments! I also love kangaroo paw, but I think it's too cold where I live to grow it. I don't remember seeing Wave Rock, Judy. If you have one, do you mind sharing a photo with us?
