Soaring to New Heights

 

On the way home from Chimayo and Santa Fe a few weeks ago, we stopped by the Garden of the Gods, along the scenic Turquoise Trail, so we could climb to the top of one of the sandstone rock ridges and enjoy the views.

I took a few photos of Jax and Jem after I climbed back down.

Looking Northwest.

Looking Southwest.

In this photo the sky looked like it was going to crack open and pour rain, but it never did. We haven’t seen any rain in New Mexico since last August. Eight months without any real moisture and we are all thinking about doing a Native American Rain Dance before fire season begins.

The clouds just move on and the sun keeps on shining.

There's plenty of extra precipitation here in the Swamp, if you'd like to come get some--today is the first TRUE sunshine in forever.
