Where Will It Take You?


The New Year is coming and as I was walking by these tracks I was wondering where the the New Year will take me and all of us as photographers for that matter. Thanks to everyone who has stopped by this year. I look forward to all of my fellow bloggers photographs in the coming year. Best of everything to everyone!

Road to Taos II


Further up the highway it looked like there was more snowfall in this area. In the background is Truchas peak. The sun has been out for the last few days so I am sure most of the ground snow is gone.

Road to Taos


I shot this one just as we were leaving Santa Fe. Thats the Sangre De Cristos in the backround. And let me tell you it was a cold one that day.

Christmas Eve at the Taos Plaza.


I shot this while in Taos on my way to the Taos Pueblo to witness the Procession of the Virgin Mary. I wish we were able to take photos, it really was something to see.

Christmas Evening


Yesterday before the day was over we traveled to Chimayo to see the lights on the Santuario. I had always seen postcards and yesterday was the first time I took my own photo.

Merry Christmas from Santa Fe


This stores window display really caught my eye as I was walking by. Could it have been the pink Jesus? Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas full of peace, love and happiness.

Christmas Eve


"Night of Las Posadas," this is the story of Mary and Joseph going from inn to inn trying to find a place to stay. The weekend before Christmas there is a reenactment of the Posadas through the plaza ending at the Palace of the Governor's where a manger scene is set up.

Winter Plaza


Its almost all gone but it's still a beautiful one to post just before Christmas. We are actually supposed to get more snow today in fact.

When walking through the plaza you will see decorations along the portals and windows.

Santa on the Plaza


This Santa was not giving gifts way but raffling them off on the plaza. He was selling tickets to the Native Americans who were selling their artwork at the Palace of the Governor's. Beats shopping!

Beautiful Sculpture


I love this sculpture and if I was'nt in such a hurry I would have a name of the sculpture and the name of the artist. This lovely piece is on the IAIA campus. Maybe if someone from here sees the post they'll comment on name of the piece and the artist.

Melting Away.


Our snow is going away and so far there is none in the forecast. I doubt we're going to have a White Christmas this year. Wishing everyone a good weekend.

Faralito Lit Path


This view was from the IAIA campus. I wish I could have seen it at night when the Farlitos were lit. I am sure it was beautiful.

Mosaic


Outside of the Art department on the back side of the college is this mosaic. Looks Aztec to me but I could be wrong.

Peace Bug


It's what we might all need right now. Just a little Peace in the world.

Don't Sit Down


While leaving the college the other day I noticed this unusual corner bench. Don't think I would sit there at the time. Maybe after the snow melts.

Just Yesterday Morning


Along with a good part of the country we got snow from the winter storm that passed through Santa Fe. For those who did, stay warm. Have a good weekend everyone.

There is some peaceful about a quiet road out in the country. It's easy to get lost in your thoughts.

Offering


This Buddha was sitting in an artist garden in Abiquiu. The garden had gone dormant for the season but there was still something peaceful and beautiful about it.

Theme Day: Waiting


And now the final theme day of the year. Our final theme day is "Waiting." I struggled with this one until I was awaken by the most unusual noise. I looked out and saw this Raven calling out to her mate. She waited until he flew by and they flew off into the morning sky. It was really nice to see.

Please take some time to visit my friends throughout the world.
