The Golden Tree

Northern New Mexico is in full fall color right now, including the area around Santa Fe. This is a cottonwood tree we saw out at La Cieneguilla west of the city yesterday:

Looking at Santa Fe

We were out in the BLM land west of Santa Fe at La Cieneguilla yesterday, and took a few pictures looking towards Santa Fe. We've never seen the city from this viewpoint before, and it gives a different perspective of the view. Beyond the city are the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

Fall at our house

We just got back from a trip to Colorado ... and in just a few days, the leaves here at our house have reached their peak of color. Sure is pretty.

Up in the Sangres

John and I took a drive up into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains today to check out the aspen trees and see how the fall foliage was looking.

The mountains looked just spectacular as always, but the aspens have not reached their peak color yet. John got some nice pictures anyway, and we hope to make a return trip up there next week to see if the color is even better.
