Painted Desert

Celebrating fifty years of marriage, we are heading west with the wind, the Pacific coast our eventual destination.  Yes, 50 years!  As our Italian guide said twenty five years ago, "Eet eez nut puzz-e-bul."  But it is, and it has been a wild, wonderful ride with my musician guy, chosen because I knew life would never be boring.  Indeed, it has been quite the opposite, and I would do it ALL again, the chills, the spills, the thrills!  I am a very fortunate woman.

~ Various "painted" shots and a Cheers! to all. I am particularly fond of the chiaroscuro in the 2nd extra.

Thank you ever so much for your stardust and hearts for Community Trees.  I might not get to thank you individually because the musician and I will probably be otherwise occupied :-))
