There are lots of signs here and they take me back on our road trip in America in September 2011.
We landed in Phoenix and drove up to Prescott where my sister and some of her grown-up children lived. From there it was on to The Grand Canyon and then across to Denver taking in all the National Parks on the way and lastly taking a fabulous 36 hour train journey to San Francisco for a few days in the city.
This was a fabulous trip indeed and I was very glad of this challenge to go back through the photos. I invite you to take the trip with me now.

Love this quotation in the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco. It was in the cafe here that I took the phone call from C to tell me that his beautiful wife, Kath, and my dear, dear friend had died. Kath is the inspiration behind my blog
