About this blog:
We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...
And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.
Using anything published here without permission is violation of the law and... it isn't really nice...

Very prickly... and very beautiful...

This Cholla cacti is one of my favorites plants. Yeah... I have a weakness for cacti... Probably because we never saw them in real life and definitely not blooming...

 
So.. when I see blooming Cholla, I cannot just pass by without admiring the beauty. Just need not to come too close, because the flowers are gorgeous, but the thorns are sharp ;)






The most surprising for me was to learn that the flower lives just a few hours and tomorrow the new ones will replace the old ones. The lifespan is way too short... but the flowers are so tender and lovely, aren't they?










Pictures were taken in June 2022.
