Christmas Cactus Blooms

I know it isn't Christmas yet but our Christmas Cactus doesn't seem to know that. It is full of these beautiful blooms. In a way the blooms remind me of shrimp - I'm just saying.

Being Exposed

I took a walk downtown today and passed by Santa Fe Village. I have been by this building a bunch of times but today I noticed these windows with all the exposed beams and adobe.

A Little Birdie Told Me

I went for a walk today and while I was sitting on a log enjoying the beautiful day this bird landed in the juniper next to me. I figured out it is a Finch but I am not sure whether it is a House or Cassin's.

Beautiful Oak Leaves

While on a hike today I came across this incredible oak tree with these beautiful reddish orange leaves. I love fall color and was happy I got to see this tree.

Recovery (Ascent)

I spent some time this morning in the Railyard and I walked past the Gebert Contemporary Gallery. This piece caught my eye. It is called Recovery (Ascent) by Travis Constance.

Southwestern Symbols

While walking downtown I passed a shop selling Red Chili Ristras and Cow Skulls. Both are pretty recognizable symbols of the Southwest. Maybe this could be a Santa Fe Postcard.

A Dandelion Remains

I took a walk around the property today and came across the lone dandelion. I did not see another one on the entire walk. I guess this is probably one of the last of the season since we have already had two snowfalls.
