HIGH DESERT EDEN
6. Departure Day
A Fantastic California Desert Retreat
Hosted by Robin Maxwell and Max Thomas

Day 4 was our day of departure.
We woke up to the sound of morning doves and...
Scrub Blue Jays.
.
Another example of Max's landscape work.
We love how Max has little solar lights everywhere,
to light the paths at night and to showcase each arrangement.
It's really a lovely sight at night -
tiny lights on the ground with the thousands of stars above head...
Max shows us more of his plants.
We've presented more of Max's sculptures, 
desert monuments and floral arrangements in an accompanying page.

On the way down through the States, 
we picked up the fourth and last guitar of the 
Special Edition Gretsch Americana series - 
The red Sweethearts edition!
Bill entertaining the bunnies?
.
The Americana guitars are supposed to be MINE...
so I should have my picture taken with it ;-)
A perfect picture to remember the perfect holiday!
.
Are you guys yodeling?!
The Mighty Wind ;-)
.
Call me ;-)
Max is an accomplished "jack of all..." 
He has a beautiful voice and 
sang Georgia on My Mind for us...
.
Do you feel a gnawing sensation, Max?
Max, Robin and Bill planning the Great Escape?
.
The studio where Robin has written
JANE: THE WOMAN WHO LOVED TARZAN
and so many other best-selling novels.
 Sadly, it was time...
We had such a wonderful stay with our friends 
Robin and Max at High Desert Eden. 
Rejuvenated, we were ready to hit the road eastward to Texas, 
then northward and home to Canada.
Thank you...and ...“Namasté”
