We've been in Taos, NM the last couple of days and staying at the Historic Taos Inn.

View of the courtyard at the Inn.  Cathy's new friend.

The central plaza in Taos.

About 10 miles south of Taos at dawn.

There's a trail that goes down to the Rio Grande river from here.  

Another dawn over Taos. 

And here's a sunset

Kit Carson used to live in Taos. 

Lots of blue doors in Taos.

The afternoon clouds are spectacular. I'm hoping for an electrical storm one of these times. 

Haven't seen too many birds except ravens and pigeons.  I did spot a red-tailed hawk today.

I love the landscape in New Mexico.
