time for summer

Today is the official start of my summer holidays. The next six weeks are packed full of many fun trips and I shall be taking my trusty pentax along for the ride. I can't wait for time to rest, explore and spend with the people I love.

I met these guys on a retreat to the country earlier this year and couldn't get enough!


las vegas botanical gardens (ii) .. desert colours

I love the variety of shapes and colours that grow even in desert conditions. The red and yellow flowers reminded me of a similar plant from my childhood in Tanzania. I'm very thankful to my other half for sticking out the extreme heat with me to explore these fun gardens.


las vegas botanical gardens (i) .. cactus, cactuses, cacti

I love a good cactus. Last summer I got to explore the botanical gardens in Vegas which, naturally, are full of exciting desert plants. How amazing are the cactus skeletons? I had never come across them before. It was great to see all the different types of plants. Now I just need to get out there on a road trip and see them in the desert. Joshua Tree and Monument Valley..you're top of the list!
