  • Welcoming Another Day’s End

    Welcoming Another Day’s End

    Sometimes all it takes is observing sunset in complete silence to soothe my mind, to realize that at the end nothing else really matters..

  • Ever Changing Clouds

    Ever Changing Clouds

    If you haven’t already noticed, I’m fascinated by clouds. They are never the same. They constantly change form and each moment is unique. What you see right now will not be the same the next second. It’s a great reminder that nothing lasts forever..

  • Up, Up to the Sky..

    Up, Up to the Sky..

    Not much to report today, but look at this.. Entirely Mother Nature’s creation. Absolutely no A.I.

  • The Historic KIVA Theatre

    The Historic KIVA Theatre

    There was a scheduled hydrant replacement in our neighborhood today, therefore water would be cut off from 9am to 4pm. We took it as an opportunity to drive somewhere spending the day elsewhere.

    So we went to Las Vegas! No, not the Sin City in Nevada; It’s the Las Vegas in our home state New Mexico. We’ve been to this charming city a few times in the past, and the people we came across have always been very friendly. I guess that’s one reason why we kept going back there.

    Note: the image was captured at the Historic KIVA Theatre on Bridge Street.

  • Madrid on My Mind

    Madrid on My Mind

    When we were tourists visiting New Mexico way before we moved here, other than Santa Fe, I was attracted by Madrid’s vibrant artistic charm. It left me an impression so deeply that we have been driving there at least twice a year since we relocated to Santa Fe.

    So that’s what we did today. We drove 45 minutes and went to Java Junction for a cup of coffee and some pastries. The temperature was even hotter than where we live. While my companion continued with his coffee in the shade, I went by myself for a walk in the area with my camera. The short stroll reminded me of the various reasons why I felt in love with the Land of Enchantment..

  • Just Another Mundane Day

    Just Another Mundane Day

    In order to avoid the heat I went out and worked in the yard as soon as I finished my daily Españo course this morning. I filled up all the bird feeders when I noticed they were completely empty. And I saw a ground squirrel for the first time in our backyard..

    It’s mundane but I don’t mind a bit. I’m quite content with a life like this..

  • Our Land of Enchantment

    Our Land of Enchantment

    This is one of the two favorite spots of ours to observe clouds and sunsets. This one is at the end of Ave Vista Grande, where we have to make a left turn in order to get home.

    We used to frequent these two spots before sunset after we moved here and even more often during the pandemic. Looking back, it was such an uncertain time from various perspectives. But we always found somewhat a sense of peace when we parked our car there and watched the sun slowly disappear behind the mountains. We live in the Land of Enchantment, and that feeling confirms our decision. We are exactly we are supposed to be at this moment.

  • Give A Little Love

    Give A Little Love

    It doesn’t cost a thing. Give a little love, to total strangers, to passers by, to the universe.. When there’s a string attached, the love was never real. It’s the easiest thing to do if we could see past our differences. Won’t you give a little love to your fellow human beings, or to yourself?

  • Late Friday Afternoon Friends

    Late Friday Afternoon Friends

    Met some new friends on today’s walk. I’m looking forward to visiting them again in the near future..

  • Finding Beauty in Simple Things

    Finding Beauty in Simple Things

    Do you know what these are?

    These are dead leaves of the agave that died last year. We never got rid of it. It’s still sitting there with its stalk standing tall and all the dried flowers on top of it. We see it as an art piece in our garden. Like a statue, almost. Let’s see how long we get to enjoy its beauty.
