As I promised you yesterday, here are more of Annie's photos: Who is taking a picture of what, all at the same time on the road…first beautiful red   stones. What a Colt revolver!  With such a nice smile, in a shop in Sedona, Arizona.   (Colt revolver or Colt pistol) A very hot morning even under umbrellas while visiting Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright Fondation in Scottsdale, Arizona (near Phoenix).  Thanks for sharing, Annie. I look forward to the next ones! My best, Jane

I'm so happy.  It's Toussaint holidays and students have time to send me more photos of their extraordinary trip to the American Southwest in June of 2019. It's Annie's turn today...and tomorrow...so be sure to return tomorrow! Such beautiful colors for this hummingbird in the ghost town, St Elmo, in Colorado. In the town of Silverton, in Colorado also, lucky to be rich is for anyone who tries.  When a dream becomes reality...it becomes magic in this part of the world.  Such a wonderful sight! Thank you Annie. My best, Jane

Their photos, and a "Thank you Jane for this beautiful trip!"  In the train, with Nadyne, our guide.  Songs for great memories.   ( I wish I had remembered to sing  "O my darling Clementine"  with all of you that morning. )  Jane, in the cockpit, ready to fly over Lake Powell. WOW! What a hot day, in Phoenix at Taliesin West, one of Frank Lloyd Wright's homes. Monique and Edouard

Road signs and Cacti

Another Jean, Jean B. shares these two photos:  On our way from Page to Phoenix we happened to drive a few miles on route 66. This is the picture of the crossroad with plenty of  roadsigns : A symbol of so many things to see, to remember and to discover in the US, a fascinating endless adventure … In the Phoenix Botanical Garden one could find sustainable skyscrapers. Of course those saguaros skyscrapers do not  have so many windows and dwellers as in Chicago or San Francisco buildings, but food ( prickly pears )  is available     « on site ».
