New Mexico Bound

We’ve packed up the provisions and camera gear for a photo expedition! We’re heading out to the southwest again. This time the destination is New Mexico! We’ll be staying in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, using those cities as our temporary quarters while we go on the hunt for good food, beautiful scenery, and the laid-back country pace.

To entertain you a bit while I’m gone, Marty is in charge of posting some of my photographic images from Zion National Park, taken back in April 2008. I previously featured some pictures from this glorious spot of heaven on earth, but I have done some whole new processing on them. And with a wider column on my blog now, I can now show images that are a bigger format. I hope you enjoy them! This park is definitely on our “must see again” list!

The image of the horses shown above was taken at Zion. I entered this, along with some others, in the latest Pioneer Woman photo challenge assignment. There are thousands of photos entered in her contests, so I have nary a chance. My composition style and processing also don’t coincide very well with her tastes either. Oh well! At least I’ve had some new folks stop by and give me lovely comments on my Flickr images!

And let’s hope that Marty behaves while he’s in charge!

  1. I'm not a photo expert, Donna, but I really like the look of that horses/rider photo. It looks old-fashioned...like it could have been taken in the old cowboy days. Good job!

    How exciting to be going on another adventure! I've never been to the desert southwest, so I'm really looking forward to seeing the new photos you post when you return (as well as the Zion Park photos that Marty will be in charge of.

    Be safe, and have a wonderful trip!
