Here's another take on a colorful scene in Tucson's Barrio Viejo. I like how the wavy pattern of the reflection in the window kind of mimics that of the patch work repair on the wall.

Thought I'd kick off the week by sharing another oldie from Route 66, this one taken in Santa Rosa, New Mexico back in August 2014.

Here's one from way back in November 2014, not long after I'd started exploring along what's left of Route 66, taken during a stop at the Wigwam Hotel in Holbrook, Arizona.

The 100 year anniversary of the establishment of Route 66 is coming up, so I thought I'd share a photo I took along the old Mother Road near San Fidel, New Mexico a few years back.

Portal to another world? Kinda... The entrance to Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico.

Today I thought I'd share a photo that simply puts a smile on my face... Taken this past January at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge's Wetland Roost.

Every time I look at this photo I think to myself: "He needs a straw hat and cane fishin' pole and he'll be all set." :)

One thing I love about photography is that you can capture a moment, freeze it in time... Taken on a magical afternoon in the Organ Mountains.

Think of spring in Texas Hill Country and I think of bluebonnets. Here's the one ok photo I got the one time I went to Texas to chase bluebonnets. Thinking I may have to go back some day.

Simple click, mountain stream. Taken while exploring around Questa, New Mexico a few years back.

Couldn't help but think of an episode of "Everybody Love Raymond" when I spotted this while walking the streets of Tucson's Barrio Viejo recently.

What I like about this photo from my recent wandering in Tucson's Barrio Viejo is that there's so much going on! Colors, plants, lines natural and man-made...

That Monday morning feeling...

I'm not the best person in the world for goal setting, but I really do need to make an effort to do more of this next winter...

I love roadrunners. But it seems like I usually see them in parking lots :)

The green on yellow color combo always gets my attention. Another one from my recent wandering in Tucson's colorful Barrio Viejo.
