Canyon Road Paint Out IV

Painting the view looking east on Canyon Road. I was drawn to all of the color on his palette.

Wishing you all a very Happy Holloween.

Canyon Road Paint Out III

This was one of my favorites. This small church that this artist is painting is located on a highway that leads south of Santa Fe. The little town that the church can be found is called Golden. It's consists of only a few homes and this church.

Canyon Road Paint Out II

This artist was using an adobe home as her subject.

Canyon Road Paint Out

The weekend before last was the Canyon Road Paint Out. Over the next week maybe more I will be sharing photos from one of my favorite Canyon Road events. I hope you enjoy.

In the Distance

Yesterday I went out on a hike on one of my favorite trails. Mr. Weatherman said it would be sunny and 70 degrees. About 30 minutes into the hike I was be hit with rain and extremely cold sleet. Needless to say by the time I got back to my car I was pretty wet. Still I think this shot was worth it.

Fall Pumpkins

This is only a small sample of the pumpkins being sold at a local church. There were many sizes and shapes to choose from. Do you carve a pumpkin for Halloween or do you just have them around as Fall decor?

Cosmos and Adobe

One of the flowers that seems to be all over town in the Fall are Cosmos.

I think they are the perfect flower to compliment our adobe walls.

More Fall in the City

Caught these in an alley near Canyon Road. Have a great Friday.

Just a Little.

This Aspen wasn't very large but it did it's best to show off a little bit of color.

Autumn

“Autumn is the hardest season. The leaves are all falling, and they're falling like
they're falling in love with the ground.” 
― Andrea Gibson

Color in Water

Fall in the Shadows

A Touch of White

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” 
― Albert Camus

In Town Fall Colors

The other day while walking through the Railyard I saw these three trees. I guess the one on the right could not make up it's mind. Today when I walk by I am sure it will be yellow.

Fall Colors IX

Even the little Aspen trees have to get in on that action. Wishing you all a very happy Friday!

Fall Colors VIII

I am not sure what kind of tree this is but I love the red stems on the yellow leaves. Any tree experts out there?

Fall Colors VII

I think there is something healing about Autumn and the colors that it brings forth. Maybe it's just me. What do you think?

Fall Colors VI

I love the shadows that the light created on the golden leaves.

Fall Colors V

Just a little touch of red.

Fall Colors IV

Along Aspen Vista Trail. Someday's if your lucky you can have some time to yourself along the trail but most of the time it's pretty crowded.

Fall Colors III

I love the way these small Aspens curve as they grow from the side of the mountain. It looks like they are reaching for the western sky.

Fall Colors II

This was taken a few weekends ago up near the Aspen Vista trail. Wishing you all a very happy Friday.

Fall Colors I

I've been hiking quite a bit on the weekends. Prepare yourselves for a long series, well not too long. I hope you enjoy.

Turkey Advertising

One of the local school advertising their annual Turkey Trot 5K Walk/Run. This is always on Thanksgiving Day and can be quite challanging if it snows.

An 80's Kind of Pup.

I'm guessing that's what decade this outfit came from. Any other guesses?

Save the Bees!

Maybe not the original thought but I'd like to think that this was the idea behind the costume.

Giddy-Up

Another of my favorite entries in this years Pet Parade.

Mystery Machine

I almost forgot to share a few photos from our annual Pet Parade that was held during Fiesta weekend at the beginning of September. This was one of my favorites entries.

My Secret Place

Well, one of them. There are places up in the Sangre De Cristo mountains where I like to hike and just sit. This is one spot that I love to just take it all in and listen to the water. Heading up again this weekend to catch some of the Fall colors. Have a happy Friday everyone.

Playing a Tune

Walking past the Railyard recently I heard another person playing the piano outside of Warehouse 21. It was a Classical piece that I was not familiar with but very beautiful.

Theme Day: Movement

Theme Day is here again. This month's theme is Movement. I chose the Santa Fe river as my subject for this theme. It's not often that you see movement in our little river but this Summer's rains have kept a little bit of water moving though it. Someone built this carin close to where the river passes a small park in town.
