Ffion Rose/Great Sand Dunes onesie

Our beautiful granddaughter Ffion Rose models the onesie I decorated with a painting of the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Southern Colorado when we were over there last August. Won't be long before she grows out of it..... next the Great Sand Dunes of the Sahara?

Colorado - Seven Falls

Just south of Colorado Springs - my dream come true - seven falls in one! It was a long way up those steps!

Atlanta Airport - return

Atlanta Airport on the return flight to the UK - they said the busiest airport in the world. It certainly was busy from where we were sitting!

BRAGGING RIGHTS. This is me winning the PEOPLES CHOICE prize at Sheffield's Art in the Gardens Open Art Competition this afternoon.

Manchester Airport

Start of our American Journey Monday morning 3 August. Here's where my iPad comes into it's own. That's our Delta 767 that took us safely to Atlanta.

Atlanta Airport

Outward bound to Colorado Springs - stopover at Atlanta Airport. Feel the heat in the docking bridge between the aircraft and the air conditioned Terminal. Had a nice glass of red at the piano bar Terminal E. Saw dozens of Delta aircraft and one or two AirTran - like this one.
