Wordless Wednesday (#32)



Window Shopping In Tombstone, Arizona
A few months ago, we took a family vacation to Tombstone, Arizona, a wonderful historic city. There was lots to see and plenty of tours to go on. The windows were so nicely decorated in the Old Western style and it really made you feel like you were visiting a very old town. This is a picture of one of a window in front of an old bank.

A place named Tombstone would be a constant reminder to enjoy the day! The last one's never so far away.

This is a dreamy window. Great work.

Nice banner, too.
