Trip to Santa Fe




We took a road trip to Roswell, Santa Fe, and Taos, NM this summer. I thought I'd share a few photos. I threw in a few not nature related photos as well that I thought were pretty cool.

Very cool lamp post in downtown Roswell.

Outside of the UFO Museum in Roswell, NM.


Bridge over the Rio Grande Gorge. We walked across this bridge during high winds. There was a very narrow walking path. I only made it a third of the way, but my mom and DH made it all the way to the middle. 

Rio Grande Gorge outside of Taos, NM


A view down into the gorge. The gorge is 800 ft. down.


Hollyhocks.

This was my first view of hollyhocks. They are a beautiful flower. I plan on looking into how they do here.


Front view of San Francisco de Asis Mission in Ranchos de Taos, NM. 


Rear view of San Francisco de Asis. We went to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum the day before and were able to see not only her painting of this awesome mission, but the original photo from Ansel Adams as well. 


The family.



Aspen w/ my parents
Scenic stop on the drive from Santa Fe to Taos.




Cool plant on the drive between Santa Fe and Taos. Looks like some sort of Yucca.

The plant you thought looked like some kind of yucca is mullein.

Glad to see you up and running on Blogger. Some more advanced bloggers don't care for it, but it's fairly simple to use and I've seen some really nice blogs using it.

Good to know it's a mullein, thanks!

I'm far from an advanced blogger, so hopefully it suits me just fine for a while :)
