Monday Again!

I am could not find the name for this sculpture on Canyon Road so I decided to call it as I see it. To me she is like most people who have an unfavorable view of the first day of the week. Have a happy one.

Dream

I love taking peeks into some of the yards on Canyon Road. Luckily the fence in the front yard wasn't too high so I was able to see this. 

Mr. Moose

Mr. Moose would be a fun addition to any garden. He's even had a stylish red coat on for any occasion. This sculpture can be seen as you enter Canyon Road.

The End or?

Another week has come to an end thank goodness. This gate is located at a hours on Upper Canyon Road past all of the galleries. On the other side of the gate, the weekend! Have a good one all.

The Color of the Day

The color of adobe can always be found around town. Sometimes the color can be found on people too. 

Parts Unknown

I am sure this woman knew where she was. Parts Unknown is a Men's and Women's clothing store not too far away from the plaza.

Timing is Everything

I hope someone doesn't take a picture of me under this sign someday.

Two on Pillars

Just a few steps from yesterdays post. There is also another pair near our convention center. Have a good Monday.

Red Apple

Not even a Raven can resist one of these. Another of my favorite sculptures one Canyon Road.

Spring Has Arrived

Sights like this are starting to pop up all over town.

Rustic View

This door sits near a gallery on Canyon Road. I like the view of the tall grasses in the distance. There is also something inviting about it. Have a happy Friday everyone.

Gate Shadow

Shadows are around us all day, everyday. Sometimes you see them and sometimes walk right by without a second thought. This time I got lucky and caught this decorative one.

Color In The Sun

I shot this one a couple weekends back while I was taking an evening walk along Canyon Road. This is on the side of the Bill Hester Fine Art gallery.

Thank you all for your kind comments yesterday. They meant the world to me.

My Litte Monkey

This weekend was not a good one. My little sidekick became quite ill and I had to have her put to sleep. To say that my heart is broken is an understatement. It was love at first sight when we met, she rode home on my lap when I adopted her and when she left this earth she was exactly where she should have been, on my lap. Life will not be the same without her.

Early Morning On The Plaza

I shot this one early Friday morning while walking to work. It was 7:30 and it seemed like the city was still sleeping. I saw only two other people walking around but 20 minutes later the city was alive and ready for the day. I hope your Monday is off to a good start.

Needing Alone Time

Nature is the best therapy when you need to awaken your spirit.

Shadow

I am not sure what was creating this shadow. I happened upon it while out for an afternoon walk. There are nothing but offices in the building I was walking past.

Facelift Time

It's time to get ready for the tourist season. Have a happy Friday everyone!

Bare

Aspens waiting patiently for Spring.

Waiting For His Driver

I wanted a happy photo to post for my birthday today and someone somewhere heard my wish. Yesterday I was walking past the plaza and I saw this beautiful red truck. As I approached I caught sight of this hadsome fella waiting for his driver. How can you not smile looking at this shot.

A Day Out

You would have thought yesterday was the first day of Spring. The plaza was full of people including this artist who was taking advantage of the beautiful day full of sunshine.

Changing Hands

This place used to be the Marble Brewery, a nice place to sit, have a beer and watch the crowd. In the last month and half the name of business has changed to a new owner and is now called Draft Station. I am not a huge beer fan but I may have to try it and report back. The Marble Brewery will soon reopen close to our Railyard District. Enjoy your Monday, maybe your work day be good and swift.

Shadow and Light

I captured this one on the side of the Teahouse, a nice place to sit outside during the warmer months. So how many lights and shadows do you see?

Another Favorite Home

I walk by this home every day during my lunch hour. For some reason it just looks cozy to me.

New Mexico Reflection

I was shooting this for the Zia symbol sticker on the window which is also reflected in our state license plate when I realized I got two reflection. The Zia symbol which comes from the Zia Pueblo is their symbol for the sun. You will also find it on our state flag. Have a happy Friday everyone!

Canyon Road Sculpture

If you like a modern sculpture with a lot of color no need to look any further. 

My Tweet Shadow

There are quite a few bells on adobe walls but this one is one of my favorites. I like the shadow that the sun created as I walked by.

Santa Fe Living

I am sure all cities have some version of these types of magazines. If your looking for a home here in Santa Fe, you may want to pick up a copy of Santa Fe Living. Of course they are free and can be found all over town.

Snow On The Sangre de Cristo's

This weekend the forecast said we would be buried in snow. The only place around town that got any snow was our mountains. We did get rain on both days so we are thankful for the moisture.

View of Loretto Chapel

This is the view of the back of the Loretto Chapel as you near St. Francis Cathedral from the east. When the trees are full you can't see it as well.

Theme Day: People On The Street

This is one of my favorite spots to shoot people as they walk along Don Gaspar street. Well Theme Day has come again folks and this months theme should be something to see. To see more people on the streets shot by some talented photographers click here.
