Fine Art Images from the American Southwest

Homage to Autumn. 10-28-2026

Hello from New Mexico. This week a large print titled, “Homage to Autumn”, and more.

Twenty one images taken recently of the fall colors in our neighborhood. Personally, I like the grid, built on the same grid as “Homage to Lone Trees”. Available in custom sizes on paper and canvas wrap.

I hope everyone had a great week and enjoying fall/autumn where you are.

I’m looking forward making a trip down to the Bosque del Apache this fall/winter season. Generally I prefer the late fall. There are always plenty of birds and fall color left to add a nice warm background to my images.

Random Wildlife. 10-21-2026.

Greetings from San Cristobal, NM. This week, random wildlife images from around and about. I hope everyone had a great week. I’ve had some great tour trips over the last couple of months and could plaster my website with fall color images but chose some random wildlife images this week that I haven’t shown for a while.

Enjoy!

Crescent Moon, Taos, NM 10-14-2026

Greetings from New Mexico. I hope everyone had a good week. This week the fabulous crescent moon from the equally fabulous Taos, NM. starting with the crescent moon on October 12, 2026. Seeing it a couple of nights ago, prompted me to revisit past images, and remind myself how fortunate I am to live here and see this sight in crystal clear skies of northern New Mexico.

Enjoy!

Bighorn Sheep, and Taos Pueblo. 10-07-2026.

Greetings from New Mexico. This week, a bighorn sheep, a black and white of the Taos Pueblo North House with a waning moon, and more. I hope everyone had a good week. I was out with some wonderful clients and friends.

When we first spotted him under a tree. He was eating leaves and some grass.

He proceeded to climb the scree slope and pose for a grand profile shot.

He was curious but also got bored with us and didn’t move for what seemed ages, (about two minutes)’ so we left him alone to carry on. We also carried on with our Red River photo tour for fall colors, which are stunning right now. On our return trip, our friend here, hadn’t moved from the same roadside spot. The leaves and grass must have been extra delicious.

As promised, the black and white of Taos Pueblo with ladders outstreched as if reaching to the moon.

Earlier in the week I spotted this Golden Eagle near the lake and appropriately named town of Eagle Nest.

Here’s another Golden Eagle at an other time.

Over the last two weeks we’ve made numerous trips to the mountains for fall colors. Here’s one I created near Hopewell Lake with intentional camera movement. It’s been a good autumn so far with more to come.
