I accepted the kind invitation to go on a photo safari with the Arizona Highways photography group to Jerome this weekend. I had a great time! Jerome reminds me so much of the hills above Laguna Beach. Old cottages, flower boxes, homegrown artisans, just missing the beach. The weather could not have been better, it was beautiful.
We all ate lunch on the outdoor patio at "Grapes" that sat up a bit on the hill and overlooked the hustle and bustle of the tourists. Wine being the specialty of the restaurant /bar, made for a long funny lunch stop. As we sat on the patio, there were loud cracks of thunder and occasional lightening but no rain. I put up some of my pics on Flickr, my favorite was of this cozy little bed and breakfast which had a very cool courtyard.
At the end of the day, my face hurt from laughing. It really was a good distraction..
I ended up taking my son back right after that.

Valerie,
You were certainly a bright spot on our Jerome tour. You're a charming young woman with extraordinary talent and a wicked sharp sense of humor. It was our pleasure!
You will continue to excel in your field because you have a natural sense of composition and color.
Next time, bring your big girl camera! (teasing)
Hope to see you soon.
Paul
