As we left Las Vegas we headed south and then west on the #78. This route took us through the Algodones Dunes - an area of 8 by 40 miles, a vast pile of pure, golden sand, center of which has absolutely no vegetation and presents a stark, elemental scene of just two components - cloudless blue sky above and unbroken sandy mounds beneath.
and the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park (where the above cactus photos came from) as we made our way to the Pacific coast, Encinitas and Santa Luz to spend a couple of days visiting with family.
Back home for a couple of days, then off to Edmonton for the artist reception of URBAN TEXTURES, Articulation's textile exhibit inspired by architectural details from Winnipeg's historical Exchange District.
