  1. ...beautiful blooms for you, while the wind carries away our pine rope and the temps dip to the low 20s tonight and tomorrow! How could you gain weight with all that mountain hiking (I guess that was the stop before, though....). Have fun in the desert--hope you see some interesting birds.

  2. FABulous colours to brighten up a dull day here. Hedging my bet on Solanum and Hibiscus but can't recall the other one. Have fun in Las Vegas Dawn. FAB.

  4. Really beautiful flowers - especially that white one. I could cheat and ask my CA daughter what they are, but I won't.

  5. All the flowers are beautiful, whatever they are. And especially appreciated when looking at white stuff on the ground. Red Rocks is gorgeous and you'll be less than 2 hrs from Death Valley.

    Sorry you're missing family for Christmas Dawn, but you have lots of family around you wherever you go.

  8. I don't know what the flowers are but the photographs are beautiful. It's nice to see anything blooming while winter is starting to settle here in Appalachia. Enjoy Las Vegas--we are heading there ourselves in a couple of weeks (but heading to the Grand Canyon).
