    Flew to Las Vegas, the planes go direct from here, then drove to Palm Springs, Had a good trip. Went to a little known State Park in Nevada, it was fantastic, the colours of the rocks were un believable. Will show some shortly but just got back a few hours ago. This picture is one of the deseert below Palm Springs.

    If that shot is an example of what's to come then I'm sitting here with bated breath.

    Welcome back Kildale - things just haven't been the same here without you.

    That photo just makes me homesick for some high desert mountains! Can't wait to see all the rest.

    Having spent many years in New Mexico, walks in the desert were always a treat. Thank you for the reminder. Great picture!!
