A WINTER'S TALE
Grand Canyon Winter
When folks from other parts of the country think about Arizona, the images that generally come to mind are endless stretches of flat, barren desert, punctuated by a solitary sahuaro, rattlesnake, or the interior of the hot, dry, Grand Canyon.
Nothing could be further from the truth! While we do have miles and miles of arid deserts, we also have 12,000 ft. mountains, pine-covered forests, waterfalls, huge lakes with thousands of miles of shoreline, extinct volcanoes, and massive meteor craters.
In January, the hot, arid Grand Canyon can become a veritable winter wonderland, complete with trackless miles of snow-covered terrain, that literally transforms the landscape, yielding views that the casual observer might not expect. Above is an example.

In consultation with Robert, our Gallery Director, she chose a lovely heliotrope ribbed fabric for the angel to float on, complemented by a tasteful and understated dark burgundy oval frame. Dare I say that it turned out heavenly? You be the judge:
