It reminded me of our beautiful desert garden in Albuquerque. Every spring it flowered with the most magnificent colors. Much like what you saw in your trip. My favorites were always the different kinds of cacti and watching the bees take long baths in the pollen... So glad you had a wonderful time!!

Very! I'm reminded of some of my trips to my favorite spot in the high desert, Steens Mountain and <a href="http://writerquake.blogspot.com/2008/11/i-have-entered-into-desert.html" rel="nofollow">this post in particular</a>.<br /><br />It's always nice to know how a new reader has found your blog. I found yours through your comments at kj's blog surrounding the circle of friends who knew and loved Renee.
