Every year for Fiestas you will find the Spanish Family Coat of Arms hanging at the Palace of the Governors. Is my sir name on there? No, but there is a valley near Taos with my last name.
Nice color and the arrangement causes interesting eye movement, as I look to the umbrellas and then the line of colors take my view to the right and then it pops back to the umbrellas.
Always love taking a look at coats of arms and wondering of the symbolism. I'm thinking of one with a castle in the foreground and trees flying overhead. Say what????????
That is really quite impressive. I'd like to see that myself. You'll just have to come up with one for your family. Many years ago when I taught Middle School English this was one of my start-of-the year projects. Many students came up with some really wonderful and creative symbols for their familiy.

Looks like a jousting tournie.

makes a really neat banner!
I always learn so much through these pictures. Really makes me want to visit the southwest.
It looks festive!
Colorful flags hung with pride. A history lesson behind every one.
It would fun to have a family coat of arms!
It looks almost like you are gearing up for a medieval tournament!
I've just image Googled your valley... Pretty cool scenery!
I remember the craftsmen sitting under the cover here to sell their beautiful items.
Very nice and colorful, I would like to get one of these...
You should draw one for your name, why not?
Ah, I've fond memories walking past here, but never with those coat of arms - so festive!
Pretty cool. I always like seeing coat of arms and their symbols.

Nice find! Quite a variation in all the different family coat of arms, centuries of history in these designs to be sure!
I agree with the others Randy..let the jousting begin :) Beautiful colourful display!
