Spring Flowers
Here are some pictures of spring flowers I’ve taken over the last few weeks in the Lane Cove National Park. They’re all common flowers around Sydney.

Patty’s Epic Trip To The US. Part 16 (final). Joshua Tree National Park
This is going to be the last post in this series. We went from Indian Canyon to Joshua Tree. Our hotel was in between those two, on the loooooong and very straight road that link the two and crosses the freeway at the ginormous wind farm (windmills still not doing…
Patty’s Epic Trip To The US. Part 15. Palm Springs, Indian Canyon
The next day it was on to Palm Springs. I have to admit that this is one of the weirdest places I have ever visited, not necessarily in a good way. There were a number of reasons we stopped there. In the first place, we were getting close to the…
Patty’s Epic Trip to the US. Part 14. Sedona, Jerome and Prescott
On the move again. We visited lookout at the chapel on the hill (Chapel of the Holy Cross) in Sedona. Wonder who lives in that crazy house down there. We came through the creepiest-ever place called Jerome. The building with the red window frames was actually a brothel. I think…
Patty’s Epic Trip To The US. Part 13. Sedona Day 3
Sedona is just so pretty and not cold, we stayed another day. Here are some more pictures of the amazing scenery.
Patty’s Epic Trip to the US. Part 12. Sedona Day 2
We started with a walk the next morning. It ended up a bit longer than we intended because there were so many different paths. Walking around Sedona is awesome. I can see how miserably hot it will get in summer, though. We were staying in a suburb called Oak Creek…
Patty’s Epic Trip To The US. Part 11. Sedona Sunset
Sedona. I have no idea how I came to want to visit this place. No one outside the US talks much about it. I think I started looking at Google maps and thought the map looked interesting and randomly dropped myself into Google Streetview and went “Whoa!” Yup. No one…
Patty’s Epic Trip To The US. Part 9. Page
Page is a funny town along the Colorado River. It’s dry. It’s desolate. There is zero mobile reception. There is not a single tree or blade of grass to be seen anywhere. There is a disgusting factory at the edge of town. It’s full of motels, hotels and other forms…
Patty’s Epic Trip To The US. Part 8. Monument Valley
So the next part was a tour of Monument Valley. It was a bright and clear day, but OMG the pictures don’t show how COLD it was. The iconic view. It’s a bunny! Imagine going to this (very well-appointed) high school here (building with the green roof).
Patty’s Epic Trip To The US. Part 7. Indian Monument and Monument Valley
After Bryce Canyon, we were up for a big drive, from Bryce Canyon to Monument Valley, slightly complicated by the fact that up until now, the directions had either been clear or we’d used Google Maps. Uhm. No reception. AAAARRGGH. Technology. So we’re at this big intersection, and the option…
