The Travels of Erik and Martha

This blog was started 3 years ago to share my adventures with my students. Always the teacher, even when I am on summer vacation. We had a class cow mascot that traveled with me. What grew out of a class project, has turned into a family travel log. Shania, usually doesn't come along any more, but the name remains. In 2009, I started a new challenge. I am now posting a photo a day on my 365 Challenge page. When we travel, I will double post both here and on my 365 Challenge blog. I love to travel. Erik is a great companion on the road. We have great adventures and it is fun to share those adventures with others.

4-2-09 Desert Surprise


4-2-09 Desert Surprise, originally uploaded by roswellsgirl.

Very different day today as we spent the day in the resort towns of La Quinta, Palm Desert and Palm Springs. Gone is the wildness of the Mojave Desert, in it’s place, manicured lawns, irrigation and brightly colored flowers. The flowers are beautiful, but there is something special about the surprise of desert wildflowers. As we walked around the resort today, we did see a few surprises such as a road runner with a lizard in his mouth and this happy little hummingbird
