Submitted by Carol A. Clark on December 27, 2020

Stop and go traffic. On an early fall outing, we drove the Flat Tops Trail Scenic Byway in northern Colorado.

The delay was a delight for us as we gazed at and photographed the sheep for about an hour. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com

Mission: The Mission San Xavier Del Bac is just south of Tucson, Ariz. We visited the site in early March and were in awe of the beauty of the mission. The white exterior of the Spanish style mission is visible for miles in the Arizona desert.
