Prompt for the day:Would you want to take a ride on the Space Shuttle? Why or why not?
Had to have a think about this one - hmmm. I think i would leave it to the younger ones while I visited exciting places on earth first. I would like to go to Patagonia in Argentina, Alaska, Norway to the north pole, All of Europe and Canada for a start.
Why? its a bit like knowing your own country before you know others.
And talking of knowing our own, the weather has turned colder here and my zygo cactus (Christmas cactus) are flowering. Unlike the rose, they only flower for a very short time. They are very difficult to photograph due to the various different planes the petals are on.Here is one about to bloom.

I think Patagonia would be a cool place to see. I also would like to see Macchu Pichu in Peru.

Fantastic photos, Joan! And I agree with you--I've never been outside of the US so I'd love to travel the world first :)
