Arizona has more to offer than a deformed cactus

After my first visit to Arizona to see my girlfriend and her family Rachel, I declared that Arizona had little more to offer than their favorite color brown and a deformed cactus every here and there. After my second visit to Arizona, I now admit that my accusations of the climate and terrain were wholly false. How did I come to realize this? We took a six hour car ride and ended up at the Grand Canyon: full of California like terrain. So who knows? Maybe God felt bad that he left Arizona to deal with things like scorpions and heat waves, so he gave them one of only two natural wonders of the world on North America. He probably felt bad that Arizona always lost in comparison to California. Congratulations Arizona! You are cool again. While I was there with the Petty Family, I witnessed the miraculous wonder of creation. If you don't take something away from my pictures, then just know that Arizona is a bit more than a deformed cactus and a 118 degree heat wave. In fact, the Grand Canyon may be one of the most beautiful places in the whole world. So relax, maybe put your feet up, and take a look into the lens of my camera.
