Greetings from San Cristobal, NM. This week, the Rio Chama and the Orilla Verde in the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument.
Sometimes I come across a photo I’d forgotten about but the moment I see it I instantly recall every detail, the environment surrounding me, the feeling and gratification of the moment. It also took me back remembering the many trips I’ve made to this area.
The picture was recently acquired to illustrate an “Outstanding National Resource Water (ONRW)“. I hope you like it, and can feel the moment?
While looking for the above photo of the Rio Chama, I came across the following images in a sub-folder, all shot in the Orilla Verde Recreation Area of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument.
The squirrel was tempting providence …
And the hunter …
More occupants of the canyon …
As always, thanks for looking. Have a great week. G

Thanks so much, Mara. I have to come up with a location for this year’s winter solstice. Maybe a mountain moment seeing as the snow is sparse. Enjoy your holidays. G
Thanks for your photos. The one of the bighorn sheep took my breath away!
It was quite the moment to see and watch the scene unfold as they traversed the cliff and reach that spot. Thanks, Amelia. G
