Palo Duro Canyon - Texas Panhandle
During my visit to the beautiful Palo Duro Canyon, I could not get the Mommas and the Pappas song out of my mind. I knew I would share these pics with you beloved blog-buds.
Palo Duro Canyon is located in Canyon Texas a half hour south of Amarillo. From all the flat land around there, you would never guess that such a beautiful and expansive canyon existed in the region.
When we were in Santa Fe a few years back, I learned artist Georgia O’Keeffe was a school teacher in Canyon and Amarillo when she was a young woman fresh out of college. She taught art classes in the school systems. She had several suitors during her years in Texas, but I think her first love was Palo Duro Canyon. This place inspired her to paint her rugged landscapes of the Southwest, and probably had a lot to do with her eventual move to the Santa Fe, Ghost Ranch, and Abiquiu New Mexico.

I think there’s a raunchy pun in there somewhere.
The canyon looks lovely, but a little warm.
It’s boo-ti-full!
Nice pics, Cathy.
Excellent!!!

I just added a little white space between them.
When you get home, I can esplain the ampersand nbsp semicolon code.

Depending on how long she was gone, she may have other things in mind.
Just sayin’.
Great pics! Wow.
Five years ago….
Sheesh. I used to blog.
For awhile there it seemed like everybody was blogging. Kind of like when we were all Kung Fu fighting.
