Back from the Back of Beyond


Driving through picture postcard country, camera wildly clicking.
Should I snap the view from the window or in the rear view mirror?
So many wonderful things to see and I can't snap left and right at
the same time . . . .
*

*
Below a little foretaste of things to come of the 1,200+ photos
I took in 8 days of utter bliss.
*
Not only Sturt Desert Peas but a multitude of other flowers
were carpeting this lovely semi-desert country in all the colours
of the rainbow.
*
*
For now I hope this has wetted your appetite for a few more
but I need a sleep . . . so good night and do leave me a message
that you are out there somewhere in cyberspace.

    I wonder why desert flowers are always so brightly coloured - it is always as though they have to show off their colour - beautiful though. Glad you had a wonderful time.

    Welcome back and yes, I am somewhere in an address out in cyberspace. You are funny Arija and I do love your first image and look forward to others coming. BTW, you write to me on my other blog which is used mostly for my greeting cards, so I am so sorry that I do not so easily get back with you~ Sleep well dear one~

    I know your quandry of going down the road and seeing so many wonderful things and trying to decide what to shoot, or if you need to stop, or even go back. The problem then becomes will you ever get to your destination if you keep stopping? I look forward to seeing your photos!

    What a cool shot of the desert peas (I've never seen them before, but love the red red colour.)
