We traveled up North again. This time our destination was Arroyo Seco. This wonderful village established in 1806 was just off the Camino Real and was an enclave for the Hispanic families that lived there with the garrisoned troops until about 1825. So we drove from ABQ thru Santa Fe thru Espanola and up further north.
Anyway through the years...the dreaded hippies moved into the area, tee hee and there was an actual commune established there. This village is located just north and west of Taos and is between Taos and Taos ski valley. Gorgeous pine forest and lush cottonwoods, aspens and other "I don't know trees". We actually were looking for property to buy. Didn't find anything in that area but......near Embudo which is down the road towards Santa Fe, we found a property. We'll see. The house is huge, the property backs up to the Rio Grande and some of the trees on the property are over 100 years old...............oh be still my heart.
Oh, I so loved seeing an autumn tree. We don't have them here. Well, we get a few in the desert at Yule time, but nothing that beautiful. Nice pictures. The picture of your eye revealed so much pain, but then I'm psychic and eyes tell everything. You left yourself quite open with that shot. You might consider taking it down. It gives people full access to your inner world. I'd feel vulnerable giving people deep access to your soul, but I'm assuming you're pagan and you know how to protect yourself. I enjoy your writings. You write with your voice. It's quite unique.
ReplyDeleteThose cottonwood trees are awesome, such beautiful colors, sorry to hear you were not feeling well, that darn season is among us for sure. I love your hair and the way you wear it. feel better, hugs.
ReplyDeleteI like road trips too, but VERY short ones. Can't take being in a car very long anymore. That tree is just beautiful - we don't have that down here. Good luck with the property should that be the direction you go.
ReplyDeleteOh! Now I see what you meant about your eye. That's interesting! And your hair is gorgeous indeed.
Love the eye picture. You do have really great hair!

Thanks for the award. I will be posting it next week. Visiting here is very relaxing.....best, Susan xox
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your hair. Mine is not quite so long anymore, but not because of my age, but because the ends all dried out. That tree is magnificent. Our trees are still in the process of changing...nothing that vibrant.
ReplyDeleteMary

ReplyDeleteI loved going for the "drive" with you and seeing it again.

Hi, I so love New Mexico especially the area around Taos. It is one of my favorite destinations. Last summer the G-man (my husband) and I took the High Road from Taos to Espanola. Great drive!!! I have several posts about New Mexico in my August blog. I'll be back to your blog for a visit soon.
