PINK SATURDAY NUMBER 15

This time last year we went with 4 friends on a road holiday around a very small part of your wonderful country and I thought that I must be able to find some pink amongst my photos somewhere.

Here goes : we landed  in Las Vegas and after a night in a pretty awful (cheap) casino we set off through the Zion National Park.

This photo made me giggle as we had just passed a herd of buffalo – poor things.

Now I admit to stretching the “pink “ theme a bit far here but the lights are pink……ish! Mike & Barry trying on hats in an Indian shop.

Stopped for coffee in this shabby non chic cafe which had pink walls behind all the clutter.The bathroom was a REAL bathroom with a tub, basin and toilet.

Our first sight of those magnificent pink rocks. We were to see thousands more at Bryce Canyon.

A magnificent natural arch.

Several hundred miles later we found ourselves in a pretty little town but I cannot remember the name. It is well known as an artists' colony. SEDONA, THAT WAS THE NAME everything  comes to those who wait

Another little gem – Tubac full of little boutiques selling metal ornaments, clay pots – highly decorated and beautiful garden furniture.

  3. Didn't realize you and and Mike visited all those places during last year's trip over - so glad you got to see some of America's natural beauty. We love Zion and Bryce......and the sunset over Sedona is breathtaking!

    We're in a wet spell (feels just like Devon!) thanks to the tropical storm that's taken 4 days to pass by - garden is a sodden mass of fallen leaves - night temps. are cooling off and we will have our first fire this weekend. I love Winter......as long as there's no ice!

    Love to all.

  8. We drove from Texas to California a few years ago. It was breathtakingly beautiful! I had done the trip a couple of times before, but never really appreciated it like the last time.

    Happy Pink Saturday!
