Golden Sunset

Another beautiful sunset over West Texas. 

Mexican Smoke Bush

We found this bush growing beside a track through the Sacramento Mountains on our way to Timberon.  It was so delicately beautiful, it reminded me of feathers.

Free Range - Part 2

This soon-to-be mama and her companion were not too happy about us disturbing their grazing.  The photo was taken in the Guadalupe Mountains on our way to Dog Canyon.

Free Range - Part 1

This Hereford strolled out in front of our truck as we were driving through the Sacramento Mountains one day and stopped to get a look at us.  I never did get used to sharing the road with cattle that weren't in a truck. :)

Cactus Fruit

Took this photo while driving through the Guadalupe Mountains on our way to Dog Canyon, and then on to Queen, New Mexico.  It was a beautiful spring day in the mountains, one of those days that make you especially glad to be alive.

Pink Carnation

An image of a pink carnation destined to be delivered to a teacher during Teacher Appreciation Week.  The Parent Teacher Organization in Dell City did something different each day to show appreciation to the teachers for their hard work all year.

Shadowplay

I can't help it - I love beautiful landscapes.  This was taken on a drive through the Chihuahuan Desert in Southeast New Mexico one spring day.  We were on a dirt track in the middle of nowhere, south of Lincoln National Forest and west of the Guadalupe Mountains (look at a map - there is NOTHING in that area!) and a freak spring rainshower was brewing.  The sun was playing hide and seek in the clouds, and I thought it made some interesting patterns on the foothills in the disance.
