Here’s an image that will no doubt show up at 750 x 499 pixels on FotoFeed next week. I took the shot on Rt. 518, just over the pass on U.S. Hill coming from Peñasco. A picture of a guy taking a picture… I know just how he feels! That’s Taos Mountain in the background, with Wheeler Peak (13,153 feet) even farther back and slightly to the right.

Splendor in the pines

This spot is maybe 20-25 minutes from our house, which never ceases to blow my mind. we stopped here on the way back from an impulse trip to have a picnic on the Rio Pueblo: tall trees, green grass, a roaring river, plenty of wind and no one else around. If and when we move to a bigger place, that easy access could be lost, unless we manage to stay in the same neighborhood.
