Doodle Week marches on. I’m not a gardener, my lawn will attest to that, and I must confess that I rarely doodle garden style images. So, I knew today’s Doodle theme would be a challenge. I decided to Doodle my favorite place in the whole world. This is Guadalupe Peak in West Texas. Actually this doodle is of El Capitan which sits just in front of Guadalupe Peak. It’s my spiritual heart. I used to travel out here several times a year and camp and climb to the top. It was a great place for me to relax and reflect. A place to unwind and re-connect.
I took Mamma Planet there right after she arrived in the USA. I didn’t realise it then but she had never been camping and had never hung out in the desert. She was a 5 Star hotel city gal from Sydney. Needless to say, she endured but would not tell stories of fond memories trekking in the desert mountains today!
Here I am in an old photo on top of Guadalupe and looking down on El Capitan.
Now that I live in Australia, I really miss my trips to Guadalupe. So, here it is, my inspiration for a Doodle Garden.
I’m not a gardnener either. I was tempted to doodle concrete or paving slabs.
The desert, particularly in spring, is one of the most glorious sights in the world. I understand Australia has some pretty nice desert in the outback. Maybe you just traded Guadalupe for Ayers.
