Homestead Meadow, New Mexico

Geraint September 15, 2017 2 Comments

Homestead meadow, on the road to Mora, New Mexico. This trip around the block turned into exclamations of “ahh”, “oh my”, “did you see that?” one after another.
“Around the block” might literally be a trip around the neighborhood. It may take an hour or two! On the other hand it may be a day trip or a trip lasting a number of days. No matter it’s length, it is a trip which brings us back home all the richer for the adventure and places we’ve explored, the people we met and locations we experienced. This day was just that. We savored each moment and returned home fulfilled and content. Thanks for looking. G

Willow Window Shutters

Willow window shutters. I’ve visited this building in Mora, New Mexico for a long time. I like the simplicity of the composition. I like the break in the shutters and the slight stair stepping of the rock wall. I like the difference between the rock wall and the uniformity of the stucco wall. Thanks for looking. G

Talpa New Mexico Sunset. Sunset at the Church of San Juan de Los Lagos, Talpa, New Mexico. No matter what subject matter juxtaposes the sunset … in New Mexico the sunset enhances any foreground subject. Thanks for looking. G

Sunflower Morning, New Mexico

Sunflower Morning, San Cristobal, New Mexico. Every day I walk along the lanes and in the woods. The sunflowers this year are stupendous. They feel like my friends, each with their own personality, saying good morning, have a great day. Thanks for looking. G

Reflections on the red brick Albuquerque, NM. You’re walking around looking for signs of life, architecture, or anything for that matter, then you come across something right under your feet. The sun reflecting off a window on to the red bricks in the courtyard at San Felipe de Neri church, Albuquerque, NM. Thanks for looking. G

Golden Aspens Monarch Pass, Colorado. On the road today in southern Colorado we came across this grove of golden aspens. We were very surprised to see the tree colors turning… fall is upon us! Thanks for looking. G

Full moon setting, over the plateau west of San Cristobal, NM. I went out early to watch this moment a couple of days ago. The orbits of the celestial bodies remain a constant, by which all else can be reckoned. Thank goodness for that. Life is good. Thanks for looking. G

Valley Store, San Cristobal, New Mexico. I can drive around the block and find a little treat of some sorts. Even though the store is closed, it is still available for a steely snapshot against a northern New Mexico sky. Thanks for looking. G

Hollyhocks At The Salman Ranch Store

Hollyhocks at the Salman Raspberry Ranch Store, La Cueva, New Mexico. The color makes them look almost delicious enough to eat, like the raspberry chocolate they sell in the store just over my shoulder. Yes… we purchased some raspberry fudge, it didn’t make it home. Later, when reviewing the image, I thought they looked as if they were ponying up the bar! Thanks for looking. G
