handsome fella



Found this handsome fella in Florence, AZ a couple of days ago. Florence is the next town over to the east (fifteen miles to the east) and is the county seat. But there isn't much there except some prisons and some homes.

But I did find this guy in front of a store on Main Street that sells Indian items. Best image of my whole visit to inconspicuous Florence, AZ.

Next time, maybe Florence, Italy! OK, maybe not next time, exactly, but sometime.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West

Took another excursion on Sunday to Taliesin West, in Scottsdale. Taliesin West is a campus (or camp) or even a bit of a commune that Frank Lloyd Wright created to teach architectural theory and practice to his proteges.

It still functions as a school of architecture. There are no grades, no tests, and no set period of education, yet it is a fully accredited school of architecture.
Here's the man, himself:
