Alice (in Wonderland) famously asked, "What is the good of a book without any pictures?" I feel the same about blog posts without any picture. But here I am in magical Northern New Mexico without a way to download and publish my photos until I get home. If I were better at writing, I'd try to evoke the Italianate light, and the life-affirming scent of juniper and sage...Just come here someday, that's my advice.
I came here by myself for some R and R in Albuquerque and Taos. The rest of the fam is home minding the fort. Tuesday in Taos, I visited Leighnna Light and Thomas Ashman in their new adobe home. They just moved there and are still unpacking, but the walls are already filled with art.
Well, I just tried to put in an image of one of Leighanna's pieces, but this borrowed computer won't let me. Ah well...later. BTW, there is a wonderful store in Taos called Wabi-Sabi ...

I know what light you are talking about and the wonderful scent of the high desert plain. Be sure to drive to Chimayo and see the small chapel there called El Santuario de Chimayo. It's so beautiful.
We will see the photos when you return.
Enjoy your trip...
sounds like you're having a wonderful time! i hope you visit Canyon Road in Santa Fe too. Doodling nightly in the journal I bought from you at the AU vendor show...enjoying:)
Thanks, Theresa. I won't make it to Canyon Way this trip, but have been there in the past. It is such a lovely place and so inspiring. The same for Chimayo--magical. Farmlady, tonight I'm going to visit friends who live at the end of a road near a cattle grate and abandoned sheep pen. Sounds quiet and peaceful. I'll be glad to get out the city for a bit.
I went up to Taos this time, but didn't take the high road for various reasons. Last time we did, and went to Chimayo, Truchas, etc. Oh--I remember we did the Enchanted Loop.
