My parents live in Gold Canyon, Arizona, which is just east of Apache Junction. It is almost all a 55 plus community and the perfect place for my parents at this time in their lives. Just behind their house, and over the boundary wall, is the Gold Canyon United Methodist Church. It follows along with the Southwestern decor that predominates the area. And just across the road on Kings Ranch Road is the famous Red Sage Restaurant. This restaurant is hopping during the winter season but quiet in the summer after 60% of the population heads to cooler climates. My parents have a group of friends who usually gather in Saturday mornings for breakfast, coffee and conversation. Anyway, I wanted to show more of the Southwest flavor.

This is a nice example of the beautiful architecture this part of the country is known for. Great shot, Monte.

I surprised at how prevalent it is. Almost all homes and businesses have that decor. I don’t mind it.

Monte, I’ve been quietly enjoying your shared southwestern architecture. There a beauty in the simplicity and I love the earth tones. I’d like to do a trip out that way some time — heck, I just like to travel. 🙂
Sounds like you’re having a great visit with your parents…enjoy them!

I’m glad you’re enjoying the southwest images. That whole area has a beauty of its own with the desert plants, the rugged mountains, the people and the architecture. I did enjoy my time with them, especially as I see the aging process in them as well as in me.
