I miss the southwest. Anyone care to post some pretty pictures for me?

[Flaxbee]

I'll start. And no, not Southwest Airlines. The beautiful southwestern part of this country, though any pretty desert photos will do.

Thanks in advance.

8. gorgeous. what state?

I'm from southern California and split my time growing up between the beach and the desert around Palm Springs. My mom and I would drive to Flagstaff several times a year to visit family and I just loved loved loved the drive, and Sedona. Not for all the vortex stuff, but because it is gorgeous.
