We went
to see my husband’s mother who turned 90.
She recently entered a Care
Center
I wanted
to share these few snapshots that I took from the car window as we
traveled. Most of the 525 mile (9 hour)
trip was through barren grass land and desert.
Like this…
Wind Turbines
(sorry the photo isn’t good, but
they were really impressive)
And there was more desert
And an endless road with buttes
And more buttes
This photo was taken from a scenic
overlook near Carrizozo , NM
It is part of the Capitan Mountain Range that runs East and West.

Golf anyone?
There were herds and herds of deer
in town.
There were clouds in our rear view
mirror leaving New Mexico
Returning to our beautiful Colorado
Home Sweet Home – Good to be back :)
Thanks for taking us with you, nice to see your country, your bottom must have ached through all that sitting ;~x
ReplyDeleteYeah, just a little piece of "my world," although it is only a part of the Southwest United States. Fortunately it doesn't all look this way! Other parts of the country are green and plush... My butt was okay, but my legs were *really* stiff, even though we stopped a lot to get and walk...
Deleteglad you were there for the 90th birthday. and that you survived the trip and returned to home sweet home!
ReplyDeleteThanks Suki :) Don't know if Santa Fe or Taos look like this, as these are different areas of the state, but it was just sooooo barren - and a long boring drive...
DeleteEnjoyed the road trip and the scenery. Clouds in the rearview mirror were really special! Off on a trip of my own...
ReplyDeleteThanks :) Hope to hear about your trip when you get back!
DeleteI remember it being slightly more green around Santa Fe and definitely in the Sandia mountains there were trees...but yikes, the thought of "dirt devils" is still a little intimidating as I sit here surrounded by nothing but green on yet another chilly, rainy New England day...
ReplyDeleteOh - I miss those chilly, rainy New England days! I know we are supposed to be "in the moment" but my "spirit" needs moisture! lol And in fact we are supposed to be getting a bit of rain this afternoon :) As we started to climb up into the Capitan Mountains, at Carriszozo, there were pine trees, etc. Like a little oasis in the middle of the desert, which was refreshing.
