First post here, Sandia Mountains above Albuquerque, New Mexico looking frumious.
A couple more shots from the other evening. Beautiful sunlit face of the Sandia Mountains that loom over Albququerque, and a funny late afternoon ballon blubbing around along the foothills of the mountains. You never know what you’ll see. #photography #newmexico #southwest #landscapes #sunsets

I went out on purpose to find the aurora, however that never materialized. I got a few golden hour and twilight and blue hour photos. Unusually, there was a balloon aloft in the late afternoon above Albuquerque, New Mexico. #photography #landscapes #sunset #goldenhour #bluehour #newmexico #southwest

A couple of sunset shots. from the vicinity of Placitas, New Mexico, this was the night the first aurora showed up but I had no idea, and this would have been a great place to observe that phenomena! #photography #landscapes #sunsets #newmexico #southwest

Not quite a silk purse from a sow’s ear, my super beaver moon from last week. Looming over hills near Placitas, New Mexico. Made a few poor choices when taking this picture that made it difficult to work with, so now I have a goal of getting better at this sort of thing.

I keep finding more balloon photos to share! Seems crazy it’s only been a couple of weeks since this madness!

A couple of ‘environmental portraits of cholla cactus’ taken in different areas near Albuquerque, New Mexico. Lovely sunset light and some dramatic clouds. #photography #cactus #southwest #newmexico #landscapes

I call these ‘rabbitbrush among the cactus’. This particular area hosts a veritable sea of cholla and prickly pear cacti and the bit of these blooming rabbitbrush really stood out and caught my eye. A splash of color in the more drab palette of the cacti.

Sunsets out here in New Mexico can be stunning, there is just a vastness and a depth of color that is mind blowing. #photography #sunsets #newmexico #southwest

Sunset colors once upon an evening near Placitas, New Mexico just north of Albuquerque. Evenings out here are always something to experience. #photography #Albuquerque #newmexico #landscapes #nature #southwest "

Playing with a new lens which I am loving, some pictures taken a couple of nights ago, trying to see how it performs for sharpness, resistance to flare, and color rendition, and out of focus area characteristics, etc. So far so good, some learning to do with this new bit of equipment. #photography

Morning in the Rio Grande bosque where it flows through Albuquerque, New Mexico. Expected balloons in the sky but they didn't go up that morning unfortunately. Still, was nice to have a lovely walk in a beautiful place. #photography #nature #albuquerque #newmexico #southwest

The Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico isn’t just about the hot air balloons, there are scads of people doing lots of things and playing with bubble guns is one of them. #photography #newmexico #albuquerque #hotairballoons

More hot air balloons from the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico. these pictures show off the ‘special shapes’ category of balloons - Darth Vader and a Groundhog and a Scarlet Macaw. There are also pigs, cows, cement trucks…

Balloon Fiesta here in Albuquerque this week. Up at 3am to get to the balloon park, stand in enormous lines, get a cup of coffee, breakfast burrito, stand around in the cold, wait for the balloons to go up. All totally worth it. Just some quick phone snaps here #photography #hotairbaloons #newmexico

First image I call "Egg, lost at sea" because I was doing a 52frames assignment involving an egg, moments before I took a picture a sneaker wave swept the egg out to sea and nearly got me too. Second image is of said egg. #photopgraphy #oregoncoast #pnw #Oregon #nature #landscapes

Playing with some images taken during a trip to the Oregon Coast in April. I really liked how this tree draped in moss contrasted with the dark green firs behind it. The black and white rendering works well I think to really bring that out. #photography #nature #blackandwhite #pnw #oregon

I love the desert, especially the mornings. Don’t let anyone tell you there is no color here. Embudito Canyon drains off the Sandia Mountains and hosts a sea of cactus, and other flora and fauna and the geology is pretty spectacular as well. #photography #landscapes #nature #newmexico #southwest
