You had me fooled for a minute there, Dave. No joke, my uncle's front yard looks just like those first three.

I looked at the first and thought "What", he must of gone to Vegas or something, that's not up your way. I was curious what was inside the pyramids you have shown photos of in the past, that is a great display they have.

That's a great place to visit, Dave. My daughter and her husband live in Edmonton.

Thought you had sneaked down to Texas to see Jer, Dave.

You were doing the "let's go to someplace we can pretend we're in a tropical jungle" thing weren't you? And it's only November, think what it's going to feel like in February. Very nice images in any case, are you working on a travel brochure for the place? I'm ready to get in my car and go.

Thanks Ian I suspect some of this is very familiar landscape to you.

Yeah winter seems to be starting earlier and earlier this is the first year in a long time we are getting away in December instead of the usual Jan / Feb hope it won't' be too long.

What, you're going to drive over and visit us? Bring your 4 wheel drive, you won't be getting up our hill in any 2 wheel drive vehicle, at least not with all this snow.

haha yeah snow warning here today as well - we are eastward bound indeed however , it's considerably south of you where we will be embarking on a big ass 'boat' with some relatives to experience our first cruise. 4 wheel drives not needed - may need a BCD and a regulator , sunscreen and red solo cups

Youch!! As Bob can attest, cacti go out of their way to penetrate my flesh - I'm glad these are tucked safely away up in your neck of the woods.
