Pink Mountains

As the saying goes, "when the mountains turn pink, it's time to drink!"

The community in which I live is known primarily as a retirement community.  I am not aware of any home owner's association that does not require at least one resident of a home to be fifty-five years old.

These senior citizens can drink! The sad fact is that among these folk, there are many closet alcoholics. Not surprisingly, the small neighborhood Walgreen's on the corner sells the most alcoholic beverages per capita as any Walgreen's in the US.

But about the photo...

The mountains, you see, are in the east.  So when the sun sets in the west and is at just the right angle at sunset, the mountains take on a beautiful pink hew.  It's hard to catch in a photograph with my little camera...I've tried many times.  This is the best I've come to doing so.

So, for these seniors, in this retirement community...when the mountains turn pink...it's time to drink...
