Highway 285, Ojo Caliente, New Mexico. Road trips are the norm here and there’s plenty of empty roads out west in “normal” times. This trip was no different. Probably a few cars at the most. How many is a few? …five! It wasn’t too difficult to get a shot with no cars on the highway on this beautiful day with a clear sky and view. Thanks for looking. G
Road divides, you choose which you take. One more from the series I created with nothing else to do although, it’s so gorgeous here right now, the high desert light is pristine and the skies are crystal clear. With that, Pami and I worked outside on this perfect spring day. Thanks for looking. G
Avenue, trees, mirrored, Ranchos De Taos. More play with older images. This one at a B and B south of Taos. When I pick up photographers and friends visiting New Mexico, I often snap a few images, while I’m waiting or on the enroute. Again I’m playing around with another app and preoccupying myself, at least for part of the day. Thanks for looking. G
Sky, Black Ladder, Sunset, San Cristobal. Nothing better to do today than play with apps on my phone. I hope everyone is keeping well and staying safe. Thanks for looking… up! G
Osprey, with a fish at Heron Lake, in northern New Mexico. She looks perturbed, as if I’m going to fight her for it. Not me, but there were a number of greedy, lazy, opportunistic Bald Eagles waiting in the wings. Good girl, stay alert. Thanks for looking. G
Gas, Mohave Desert, California. Hi Sahara Oasis, I40 west of Needles. I’ve passed this Gas station many times, also stopping in a few times to get a couple of shots of this big old sign, a feature in the vast desert landscape. I’d always make sure to fill up in Kingman or Needles, that way I’d have enough gas in order to cross the Mohave and avoid paying the exorbitant prices at the Oasis. Given today’s oil glut, I’m wondering if it’s at all reflected in the prices at the gas pumps here. Thanks for looking. G
Miami, New Mexico, out “Where the Rockies meet the Plains.” I’m standing a little further east of there. Here on the plains I can see the Rockies, with miles of flat land to the east, punctuated with old volcanoes, stubby hills and rolling thunderstorms. This is another of my favorite areas for making favorite images like this one. You can tell which way the wind blows out here in Miami. Thanks for looking. G
Road G, in Southern Colorado. One of my favorite roads, not only as it’s my initial ‘G’, but because it was the road that carried me to the San Luis Valley for the first time in 1990. From Wild Horse Mesa in the east, I could look southwest to Ute Mountain, west to the Rio Grande and north through the valley to the 14,000 foot snowy peaks. And beyond, as far as the eyes could see! My parents were with me on that first trip. Every time I head into this area I carry a little part of them with me on my initial road! Thanks for looking. G
Swainson’s Hawk in flight, Colorado. I know where they live and nest, but the uncanny scrutiny this male is giving me suggests he knows where I live. Although… I’m pretty sure he could see himself clearly in the large front element on my lens. Thanks for looking. G
Elk, Chaco Culture, National Historical Park, NM. Elk can be seen year round here in the canyon. I’ve photographed them on many visits over the years. Here’s another image of a herd of elk after a spring snow. And one more of an elk and calf on a winter assignment in the canyon. Thanks for looking. G
