This must have been your favorite leg of the trip ('cept for visiting your daughter). I know it would have been mine!

I wouldn't expect such a gothic church in Arizona! I would have thought this was Europe.

Love those red rocks/hills.

Loved the door shot at Tlaquepaque (I've heard the gringos pronounce Tee-Lacky-Packy)

The church looks strange to me, the colour pink? I love the red rocks of Sedona, great to see.

Oh, my! These are all wonderful . . . and I like the variety of scenery you posted! The church is amazing and very unique!

You asked if my photo or my words come first in creating a post. It works both ways, but most of the time the pic "speaks" to me. At other times, I just share what God is teaching me.

I love these shots. I have a picture of the church and gargoyles too! Two of my favorite places to visit!

These are excellent shots! I love the detail of the dragons. The gothic design(gotic) was extremely popular in Europe....particularly Barcelona. I wish I could go back with my current camera. The passageway is really beautiful.
