Blustering and Blossoms
The wind is blowing and the dust is being stirred up. I am just so happy that Spring is here. The buds from a couple weeks ago are bursting open with tiny colorful flowers. I am always a bit taken back by the willows and their long whips of green buds. They seem to sprout […]

Taos Valley Overlook
Took a nice little hike alone a few weeks ago. The sun was out and Spring was on the way. It snowed but the sun burnt through the stuff in a few hours. It was a good day to get out and enjoy … just enjoy. Sorry about the narration on the video. One of […]

The name comes from the Spanish word “ciénaga” which means “marsh” or “marshy place”. The swampy ground is caused by several streams running across a […]

Near Pilar Riverside
I was born in Embudo. This is a view of the Rio Grande somewhere between Embudo and Pilar. The trees are changing a bit and the water is a bit more green because the flow of the river is slower. In the spring the water is brown with little white caps where rocks break the […]
