Landform Schmandform

"Awwww, look! It's a gorge Gorge!" I said to Mr. Jenny.

"It's not a gorge, it's a canyon," he replied.

 
We had driven north to Sedona over the weekend and I was pretty fired up because last week I got to paint a custom sign for a major, super-cool retailers for a photo shoot.

On Friday the photographer e-mailed me when she got the package and told me the sign was, "Gorge!"

"Look! Look! It's a gorge Gorge!" I shouted again, "Oh wait! No! It's my sign that's gorge!"

I think I was getting on Mr. Jenny's nerves.

"It's not a gorge, it's a canyon," he stated again.

"But! Listen! Wait! The photographer said the sign was GORGE! GORGE! ISN'T THAT RIDICULOUSLY COOL?"

"It is RIDICULOUSLY cool and so was your sign," Mr. Jenny said drily. "But it's still a canyon." ...

... Sigh.

But I'm still grinning over the whole photo shoot thing!

Even if the darned thing WAS a canyon!

  2. Jenny, I googled and here is the official scoop, so you can tell Mr. Jenny:

    "Gorge and canyon are interchangeable. In some countries, “gorge” is used for “canyon” and vice versa. The word “canyon” is widely used in the United States, and the term “gorge” is widely used in Europe."

  7. Congrats on your sign!! And now I know canyon & gorge are one in the same. We recently saw Hurricane Gorge in Alaska & Whirlpool Canyon in Northern British Columbia - both looked very, very beautiful but dangerous.

    Have only been to Sedona once but would love to go back - a spectacular area - gorges an all!!

  10. I live on a "gorge" and it is just a waterway from the sea-inland...so I guess it has many meanings!

  11. Look, it's a bird, it's a plane,, it's a Gorge!!
    Haha... love it!
    Thanks Jenny for your visit to my blog
    and all your sweet comments.. and the
    jammies, I did fina a 'family' pattern
    and it came with all sizes..
    After searching years ago for jammies
    for a family, the cost was awful.. so
    I've been making them for several
    years.. Tee's are a better choice (joanns) for
    the tops also...
    Happy Holidays
    Sandy

  15. Rita McGregor of Soul Comfort Corner sent me. If she says I should do something, then I do it. I'll have to tell my daughter The Hurricane when she arrives for Christmas that she's gorge. Because she is. I'm so pleased that someone appreciated your work because I have absolutely no doubt that it really is gorge.

    Love,

  16. Sedona is one of my favorite places in the continental United States. I first discovered it around 1972 or 3, way before all the money poured in. Still love it!
