Got a Room?

This is a beautiful Bed and Breakfast around the corner from my home. They have rooms named after artists and writers. Your can check them out at

Old Adobe and Old Window

I love the look of old buildings, this is part of a building in the downtown area that houses some tourist shops.

Another Steel Bird

Raven Tree

This past weekend there was a great Arts and Crafts festival in the plaza. One of my favorite things was this tree full of Ravens.

The Perfect Skull

This weekend after getting rid of some household items in a yard sale we went shopping at our local Jackalope store for the perfect skull for our house. This one is nice but a little too big for over a door.

Schools Out

This school doesn't have a pretty building but there sign is cute and makes you smile when you see it.

Red is The Color of the Day

I couldn't help but notice this Red umbrella as I was walking around the neighborhood.

Hidden Kitty

Click for a larger view and you will see this kitty licking his whisker after drinking out of the family pond.

Red

I love the Red gate against this adobe wall.

Using the Sun

One thing I love about living here is how much people here do just to help the environment. Sign and lights for freeway signs are solar powered. Grass is the thing of the past around here to save on the cities water use. Alot of homes around here have barrels to capture rain water for garden use.

Music Man

I saw this musician as I walked past this house . . .

Adobe with Rock Wall

A Dogs Home.

Some dogs have plain homes. Other like this guy has a home that is quite colorful.

Red Gate

Normally when I walk past this gate there is a Welsh Corgi who greats you with his might bark. The other day there was no bark to be heard.

Aspens

There are still quite of few Aspen trees that still leafless but now that its warming up their leaves are coming out.

Snow Run Off

This past weekend we went hiking up by the Tesuque Creek. The water was pretty cold.

Photo Eye

Oddly enough, I have not been in this bookstore yet. I have been at the one next door but not this one.

Sticker Shock

No More Snow

This was up a little further up the mountian on the Santa Fe Ski slopes.

Last Snow

This is the last of the snow. Its funny to actually see snow in May. This was taken just last Sunday.

Painted Ponies

These are replicas of life size art pieces reside in different cities in the U.S.

Pink Blossoms

Twin Trucks

Small Turquoise Gate

I love the look of this old gate.

Turquoise Truck

Seems like there is a theme in the works.

Turquoise Door

Old Door and Steps

Blue Window with Chair

As bright as the Blue is I was more attracted to the chair when walking pass this house.

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.

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.
