Cholla Cactus Bloom, Abiquiu, NM. 07-01-2026.
Greetings from San Cristobal, NM. I hope everyone had a great week. This week I did a photo tour to Abiquiu, in Georgia O’Keeffe country, where the Cholla Cactus were blooming and in abundance. I chose the two images below, though I shot many more. This was an iPhone photography workshop in Abiquiu so I was only shooting with the iPhone. Liberating!

Piedra Lumbre (shining rock) and what locals call the Shark Fin or Sandstone Fin of Ghost Ranch. I’ve photographed it many times and still don’t know its official name.

As always, thanks for looking. Have a great week, and happy 4th of July. G
