As I mentioned yesterday, I am back in California. I flew down on Monday and have already been busy: yesterday, I visited the Aqua Caliente Indian Canyons and saw the amazing palm oases that lie at the bottom of the canyons. After a lifetime of visiting the desert, I am so pleased that I finally made it here. The walks in and above the canyons were truly stunning.
Marvelous! Thanks so much for sharing the pictures. I love California; it’s like BC, it truly has EVERYTHING (geographically speaking.) Particularly loved the blue skies in your photos; we’re under a cloud here – it’s been raining for a few days, but the up side is that the grass is turning green, the leaf buds are just breaking open on the trees, and I’ve taken full advantage of the weather to come inside from the wet wet garden and dry off and change clothes and sit with my most welcome cup of tea and escape occasionally into a book which you introduced me to – Georgette Heyer’s “Sylvester.” What a glorious romp this one is – I’d never have tried it but for your enthusiastic recommendation. 🙂 Enjoy your time in the sun, Claire!
Love that spot. Hope to get back some time soon, but thanks for the lovely photos in the meantime.
Wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing. Still raining here in Portland.
Breathtaking – and I can almost feel the warmth.
Beautiful – looks a lot like my home. Aren’t we having the most wonderful weather?
Vasquez Rocks? If so the setting for many a Star Trek episode.
