Mesa Road snows across Taos Pueblo land from highway 522. It snowed again yesterday, following high temps in the sixties last week. Makes it all very interesting, especially for image making.

Pilar, New Mexico
Homestead in Pilar NM. This is a fairly recent image although it looks like time stood still at the end of the last century and we happened upon it via a time travel machine. Very much of New Mexico looks a lot like this. Pilar is a vibrant hamlet on the banks of the Rio Grande twenty minutes south of Taos. There are resident artists, bald and golden eagles, beaver, otter and river rafting outfits. Come and visit sometime. Thanks for looking. Oh! … the cross shaped structure is one end of a washing line.
Bucket On A Fence Post
Bucket on a fence. Driving around Taos County one comes across some wondrous objects that often seem to have magically shown up, by their own will, festooning the landscape like an ancient colloquial code. What, or who, could possibly have determined any usage from hanging a flattened bucket on a fence post?
More Lenticular Clouds
Lenticular clouds have been continuing for the last couple of weeks. Here’s one with the north side of Taos Mountain from San Cristobal, NM. Thanks for looking. Geraint
Winter Moon and Old Homestead
Winter moon rises over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and an old homestead in the beautiful San Cristobal Valley, New Mexico. Thanks for looking. G
Tipi Dawn
Tipi dawn and mountain mists. Although native tribes around northern New Mexico and the Rio Grande live in pueblos, there are no shortage of scenes of tipis in the Taos area like this one. Thanks for looking. G
Snow Moon
Snow Moon and lenticular clouds over Taos Mountain. Always a sight to behold!… the pristine moon rising over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of northern New Mexico. The waxing, almost full, moon was enhanced by the lenticular clouds we’ve been having of late. Thanks for looking. G
Great Blue Heron
Great Blue Heron stalking prey through the red willow in the marshes at the Bosque del Apache, NM. Here’s an image of the Heron and it’s prey. In this image from November 2007 he catches a fish at sunrise.
Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe
Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. A church in this wonderful location in Ocate, New Mexico where the Rockies meet the plains on the eastern slopes of the Sangre de Cristo mountains.
Chihuahua Dog
For the fun of it! A Chihuahua dog owning the neighborhood. I see him numerous mornings on the drive to work. Initially he barks at the car and stands his ground. When he has my attention he bolts off. In this image he is cruising in front of the Fire Department (he lives across the street) in Arroyo Hondo. Go Dog Go!
