Feather, Fuchsia and A Blue Sky

Walking back from town today, first I found a beautiful little feather at my feet and then, in the overgrown and weedy hedgerow, a Fuchsia flowering among the nettles – and all this under the bluest of skies on a crisp Autumn day when it is a joy to be alive.

Day 2 – Holbrook on Route 66

Wednesday 5th September 2018

Cacti from the Westerns

Steep hill to come

Driving from Phoenix to Holbrook, the vegetation changed from enormous cacti such as we see in the movies to scrubby bush, larger bushes and pine trees as we climbed to an elevation of 5000 ft. Holbrook was just a stopover en route to Canyon de Chelly and our ride on Route 66 was vey brief. Happily, we have done much more on previous journeys though I still have the dream to ride some of 66 on a Harley!
