A Tulip for Tuesday

This one came out just recently in my yard.

No Riders

This guy had a little time in between riders to catch up on some reading. It was a beautiful day yesterday so you can't blame people for wanting to walk around a bit.

Downtown Camera Shop

Stone Rider

As you walk by this house you notice the colors of the trim and the gate. If you look carefully you will see the cool sculpture hiding in the shade. Click on the photo for a better look.

Rain Dance

This painting of a rain dance is on one of the walls on the outside of the La Fonda hotel.

La Plazuela

La Plazuela resturant is inside of the La Fonda hotel in downtown Santa Fe. Haven't eaten there yet but the food is supposed to be good.

Color Your World

These were in a tourist shop in one the downtown hotels. I was drawn by the bright colors.

Who are you?

As we were crusing thru Placitas on the studio tour we came across this horse who watched both times as we drove past.

Placitas Church

We were in Placitas this weekend for the Artist Studio Tour and came across the San Antonio church. Placitas is a small town just northeast of Albuquerque.

Happy Mother's Day

These flowers are for all of you moms out there. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

How to spend the weekend

Sunny Delivery

Blowing in the Wind

These wind sculptures are great. You see them around town. They can be found at a local gallery here in Santa Fe as well as one in Sedona Az.

Old Garage Doors

They don't make them like this anymore.

Mary is everywhere.

Mary can be found everywhere you look here in Santa Fe. She is in art, in stores, in churches. This time I found her here on the side of a garage in my neighborhood.

Quiet Neighborhood

Every weekend I always seem to come across a nice quiet neighborhood while out on a walk. I love the look of the trees in this neighborhood.

Native American woman

This painting sit on the outside of a store in the downtown area.

Spring

There are so many blossoms everywhere right now. More than I ever saw in Phoenix when I lived there.

Sculpture

Public art is everywhere here in Santa Fe. This is an interesting piece that sits near the New Mexico Museum of Art.

Yellow Tree

These yellow trees are everywhere here in Santa Fe. This one happens to be at my neighbors house. I also love the shadow on the road from the larger tree. One day the little yellow tree will make a big shadow of its own.

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.

Cruising

I snapped a picture of this old truck while walking around downtown. Can't miss the color!

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

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.

Saturday time for a cold one.

This sign sits outside of the the Atomic Grill in downtown Santa Fe. I just might have to try it this weekend.

Time for the Weekend

This large clock is in the downtown area, right next the New Mexico Museum of Art.
Have a great weekend everyone. Thanks to everyone how visits!

Adobe Sky II

This adobe building is the New Mexico Museum of Art. The sky was just perfect that day.

Adobe Blue Sky

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.

Native Dancer Sculpture

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.

Woof

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

Evangelo's

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.

Cafe Paris

Cafe Paris is the only business that sits in Burro Ally. I have not eaten there yet so I can't give you a review. It is on the list of places to try.

Burro Mural

This mural is on the other side of the street from yesterdays post. Have a great week everyone!

Burro Alley Painting

This painting is next to the Rock Art from yesterdays post.

Rock Art

This example of primitive rock art is on one of the walls that line Burro Alley from yesterdays post.

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.

Lensic

This is the Lensic Perfoming Arts Center in the downtown area. They have everything from Dance and Music.

Walkway to Cross of the Martyrs

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.

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.
