Sorry about this but couldn't resist showing you all some photos of my W/E trip to Marrakech. Weather was gorgeous at about 30 degrees by day. We went to the Jardin Majorelle which was bought and gifted to the City by Yves St Laurent. It was completed in 1924 but seems very contemporary.

It's not a big garden but very beautiful with plenty of shade and houses a museum which we didn't go in. I don't usually do museums as I prefer to be outdoors!

Anyway, hope you like the pics.

WOW SR just popped in for a quick look round so clicked on last posts and your fantastic pics was the first thing I saw, absolutely fab. Those cactus are awesome and that blue, the little terrapins soooo sweet too. I could almost smell the Datura, heavenly

Whats that last pic of, I'm sure I've got that but have no clue as to what it is

Only took the pic 'cos I was showing my sister how to use her macro function!!!!! Should I put it on name that plant and see if someone can identify it?

I love Cacti so many shapes and sizes and textures.
	Will we ever have a nice Summer for a change?
