new mexico summer

 

 

welcome to the land of enchantment!

We recently left our corporate jobs, packed up our house and left New Jersey (and NY and Philly where we worked) on a 4 day drive (with our cats!) to our new home in Taos, New Mexico. We have been settled in to our new lives for about a month now and couldn't be happier!  I am way behind on posting photos of our place, the landscape and cool places in town. The weather is great, it's almost always bright and sunny with amazing blue skies and gorgeous sunsets every night. Here are a few photos of some grey skies that we had yesterday. I am constantly amazed at how the light on the mountains changes during the day and the grey clouds that we had yesterday mixed with blue skies and the sun shining on the mountains looked pretty cool! I swear though, it never looks the same in the photos as it does in real life! Everywhere you look there are mountains, and behind our house is a field of prairie dogs, jackrabbits, a zillion birds and at night you can hear the coyotes.

This is what it usually looks like

We are starting a garden down there! There is already wild asparagus

There are prairie dogs running around out there! 

The shadows on the mountains are so cool

                                    

Not sure what that pretty pink tree is yet

More New Mexico. I can't help it, every time I look outside I am amazed and need to run out and take more photos!

It all looks gorgeous, you can't even screw it up that much with a bad iphone photo.
