Bare Tree


This is probably one of the last bare trees. Most of the trees in the city have kicked it into Spring mode and are starting to bud. I love the way it looked next to this adobe wall.

A Tulip to start the week.


This tulip seemed to drink up the sunshine yesterday. I thought I would post something of beauty to start the week off.

Parts Unknown is a common saying in alot of Western movies. In these Unkown Parts all you'll find is clothing. This store is near the plaza downtown.

I love adobe buildings and on this day the sky made a perfect blue backround.

Plaza with bare trees


Happy Earth Day everyone. This is a shot of the Santa Fe plaza, the heart of the city. The trees are bare now but soon they will be green and full of leaves.

Trees waiting for Spring


There are some trees in town that have leaves now but it seems that the cold weather has made others wait a little longer for Spring.

Flower Power


This is a great exhibit at the New Mexico Museum of Art. All kinds of flowers from an Andy Warhol to a bomb.

This sculpture of a Native Dance is in the entry way of a gallerie/office complex in the downtown area.

Spring is here or is it?


By looking at this tree you know Spring is here. But yesterday we had snow most of the morning. Thank goodness it didn't stay on the ground. We're supposed to warm up to about the 70's today. Have a great weekend everyone.

This license plate belongs to someone who is a dog sitter here in Santa Fe. I thought it was a cute plate.

This is a great bar to grab a drink and listen to some good music. Looks like this woman is interested in the line up posted on the window.

Burro Alley


Burro alley is a public only street next to the Lensic theater. Once the city’s bawdy nightlife district, featuring cantinas, saloon and gambling establishments (and also home to “ladies of the night”), ironically, this tiny street is named for the burros that carried firewood to be sold there.

April Snow


I have heard of April Showers but Snow! We were expecting rain yesterday but by 3 pm it turned to a snow shower. It was a little warm earlier but as the evening came the snow started to stay on the ground.

This is the walkway to get up to the Cross of the Martyrs. There are station with plaques explaining some of the history of Santa Fe.

Waiting for Spring


I love some of the tree here in the winter. Their branches look almost black. This one with the orange leaves still in it from fall is probably ready for Spring to bring forth its first buds.

Cross of the Martyrs


During the 1680 Pueblo Revolt, 21 Franciscan Friars died in the fight between the natives and the Spanish. A single white cross sits on a terraced hill overlooking Santa Fe to honor those holy men.

Gated Courtyard


This courtyard is in the downtown area. Once again I was attracted to the gate. Its not old but decorative.

Friday, April 4, 2008

Old Gate


I love old gates and metal work. The gate in front of this house was also close to the weaving school. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Thanks for stopping by this week. Peace

Wild Sculpture


This sculpture made our of rebar was just down the road from the weaving school. How would you like to have something like this in your garden?

Santa Fe School of Weaving


Never been and I can't weave a blanket, but I am sure if I go here I could have a rug ready for Christmas. I pass by this school quite a bit. I love all of the bright colors.

Sky Reflection


This is one picture of the downtown plaza area on San Francisco street. I mostly shot it for the reflection of the sky in the windows. There were some great clouds out and about.
