Sky Reflection

I love a surprise don't you? At first sight I wasn't too thrilled with this shot until I saw the reflection of the sky and trees in the sculpture. This was taken during the Canyon Road Paint Out. So happy that I have a three day weekend starting today. I hope you all have a great Friday!

Fall Flower

Before the cold weather came along these little flowers were popping up everywhere. This little field is in front of my workplace. Turns out they are called Cowboy Daises. I kind of like that name.

Nude Reflection

I was standing just outside of the door of Elysee when I caught sight of this display and the reflection it was casting on the wall. Elysee is a fine art and jewelry gallery on Canyon Road.

In the Sky

Here is another artist from the Canyon Road Paint Out taking a break from her painting. I wonder what she put into the sky when the painting was finished.

Sunshine Shadows

I shot this a few weekends back but I thought I would post something bright and cheerful. Now today we have a 50% chance of rain followed by a 50% chance of snow late in the afternoon. Here's hoping the forecasters are wrong. Here's to good week for everyone!

Time to Reflect.

I caught this one while walking downtown. Talk about a coincidence. Well not matter how you choose to reflect today I hope it's a great day for you.

Oh by the way we had snow here most of the morning so no Dixon Studio tour for us today maybe tomorrow.

Garden Art

At La Mesa of Santa Fe on Canyon Road you can find these marvelous ceramic sculptures by Minnesota artist Russ Vogt. He is a painter as well as a sculptor. Click on the links for La Mesa or Mr. Vogts' website.

Another Door

The door closes on another week (thank goodness). This is one of my favorite doors on Canyon Road. It's the entrance to the Adobe Gallery. Wishing you all a fun filled weekend. I am off to Dixon, NM for another Art Studio tour!

Art Lover aka Bark Lover

Here is another artist from the Canyon Road Paint Out and no this was not his model. This little guy was just waiting around while his owner shared his artwork.

Rust and Red

We have a Coyote fence on both sides of our condo. Our neighbor also has this plant that is climbing over our fence. I love the way the leaves change to this almost Fire Red in the Fall. Happy Wednesday.

Theme Day: Fences

It's the first of the month and that means Theme Day! This month's theme is Fences. Here in New Mexico you will see fences on farms, Adobe fence around homes but one of my favorites has to be the Coyote fence like the one behind the sign. They are very popular here and they can be seen all over Santa Fe.

Take some time to visit my friends from all over the world. Just one little click can take you anywhere without leaving your chair.

Looking for the Great Pumpkin

I snapped this shot at a local church that is referred to as the Pumpkin Church because of the fund raiser they do every year.

Unlike Linus I will not be waiting for the Great Pumpkin to arrive, I will however wear my Halloween t-shirt to work. How about you, will you be dressing up for Halloween? Also I am curious if you have a favorite scary movie that you like to watch. What ever you do I hope that you have a Happy Halloween.

The More You See

“You learn to see by practice. It's just like playing tennis, you get better the more you play. The more you look around at things, the more you see. The more you photograph, the more you realize what can be photographed and what can't be photographed. You just have to keep doing it.”
Eliot Porter

Inspiration

Here is one of the finished paintings by one of the artist at the Canyon Road Paint Out. She was letting it dry next to the sculpture that served as her inspiration. Happy Saturday!

Art Chat

This painter took a break from her painting to chat with a visitor. I wish I had capture the finished piece. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and a happy Friday!

Shades of Fall

I lovye the colors of Fall are my favorite unfortunately the came quick and are leaving just as fast. It rained most of yesterday and we might see more today. Glad I caught this when I did.

Painting Landscapes

Here is another one of the artist who was painting in front of the Sugarman gallery during the Paint Out. She captured the New Mexico sky perfectly and she caught my attention with that Turquoise bracelet she was wearing.

On a side note, do you remember when I asked about the Dynamic template that Blogger has now. Check out Cindy's photoblog www.capecoddailyphoto.blogspot.com . When you hover over the blog title it will show you the different views your viewers can choose from.

Some Mornings

Do you have those mornings when you feel wiped out? I spotted this little guy around the corner from Sunday's post. Looks like me on most Tuesdays after a long day of work and another class that I am taking.

A New Home

If your in the market for a colorful new birdhouse for next seasons feathered renters you can find some cute ones here. In fact you can find some wonderful gifts or home furnishing too. Leslie Flynt is on Canyon Road and always fun to browse or take home that must have item.

Shadows

I love this statue that stands in front of the Manitou Gallery on Canyon Road. With the Fall colors and the shadows on the wall I found it to be very peaceful. Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday.
