I did see his piece on the Scottsdale Canal but it was in the daytime. <br /><br />Like you, I love stopping on small roads. It's still possible (easy actually) to be all by yourself in the desert. That's something I treasure.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-81115519634054239392016-01-30T22:24:41.010-08:002016-01-30T22:24:41.010-08:00Thank you for your inspiration, expertise, and eye...Thank you for your inspiration, expertise, and eye. I enjoy your posts (almost!) every single time. Your winter trips to the Southwest make me ache to be down there. I live in the hills outside of Rio Vista, we're neighbors, so I experience the same gloom that you do.<br /><br />This year I made a list of your visits and just drove on down there! Got back last week. The installation at the Desert Botanic Garden was amazing of course. I went back two days in a row. Didn't realize that he had several more pieces in Scottsdale so I'm determined to go back before they're gone. Mainly I love stopping along dirt roads and looking around. Stopped for a walk at Joshua Trees on the way back and realized that I was in the middle of complete quiet. I'll hold that memory close until l can go back.<br /><br />Thank you againAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023761865651623122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-587300478935039372016-01-14T17:46:05.832-08:002016-01-14T17:46:05.832-08:00I was debating whether to go back to Arizona on th...I was debating whether to go back to Arizona on this trip or stay in Southern California, but the Bruce Munro exhibit tipped me over the edge.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-48213279374005228722016-01-14T07:28:03.222-08:002016-01-14T07:28:03.222-08:00Nice that it coincided with your visit.
