New Years Eve, San Cristobal, NM

New Years Eve, San Cristobal, NM. The waning light of a waning year on my neighbor Dennis’s tree with the Columbine Hondo Wilderness disappearing in the clouds. Happy New Year and thank you for spending some of it with me. I appreciate all the comments and enthusiasm for my work. My very best wishes to you and your families for a wonderful 2019. Geraint

Winter Lake, Red Willows, San Luis Valley

Winter lake and red willows in the San Luis Valley, southern Colorado. Made a half day trip here and beyond with friends yesterday. It turned out to be a beautiful winter wonderland of a day. That also includes driving home after dark in an absolute whiteout blizzard. Well… one does engender the other. Thanks for looking. G

Roof top Musicians, El Prado, NM

Roof top musicians, on the Mexican import store in El Prado, NM. It looked like a real party up there despite the snow accumulations. There’s more snow due tonight, so this party might get even more raucous by tomorrow if the reverie today is anything to go by! Stay warm and thanks for looking. G

Canyon Towhee Snow, San Cristobal

Canyon Towhee in the snowfall today in, San Cristobal, New Mexico. Stayed in all day and watched the flocks of jays, crows, doves, juncos and this Canyon Towhee who seemed to thoroughly enjoy being ‘out in it’ while occasionally dipping in to the feeder buried under the snow. Thanks for looking. G

Bright Moon Over The Sangres

Bright moon over the Sangre de Cristos, this evening. Try keeping me away from this. I did feed the dogs. Dinner can wait. Besides that, nothing else exists in this moment. Stay tuned for the solstice moon rise tomorrow. Thanks for looking. G

Black And White In The San Luis Valley

Black and white at the red barn in the southern San Luis Valley, Colorado. This place is so familiar, so familiar to me, that I think I know this place from a past life or parallel universe. It feels so much like home and always good to visit. Thanks for looking. G

Blanca Peak Massif, Smith Lake

Blanca Peak Massif, from the shore line of frozen Smith Lake in the San Luis Valley. It was a beautifully cold and picture perfect day for image making. Heading back up there for the winter solstice moon rise. Thanks for looking. G

Winter Tree Light

Winter tree light. Those trees in (El Prado) the meadows just north of Taos, NM. Worthy of a drive almost any day of the week when the sun spot lights the valley like this. It adds a lot of warmth at this cold time of year. Warm is warm even if in the eye of the beholder. Thanks for looking. G

Mallard Duck On Ice

Mallard duck on ice. I love the way these little creatures behave deliberately. Paddle to the edge of the ice, waddle out onto the ice, stand there and do nothing. Time passes. I made some images and moved on. A little while later, when I return, the Mallard is standing stock still, in the same position. I can only assume, enjoying a moment, warming up in the morning sun is a cross species trait. Thanks for looking. G
