departing the land of enchantment

Last night I returned home after six “enchanted” days in northern New Mexico. .

Taos Welcome Tree

The early morning departure for the Albuquerque airport, and the three hour ride as a passenger, allowed me time to gaze outward and reflect inward about New Mexico.

17° upon departure, everything seemed crisp.

As daybreak gave way to daylight, and the elevation lowered, colors changed.

I love New Mexico. I especially love Taos. It’s quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by beauty.

For the past fifteen years my traveling friend and I have been fortunate to stay in the Casa de las Abuelas. It feels like home while I’m here.

I’ll return in January. Yay!

Traveling mercies.

  1. My dad loved those mountains (but never made it there). These pictures and your narratives are such a lure for me. ( Are you being subsidized by the tourist bureau?) I sooooo want to go. Thank you for the virtual trip until I make it a reality.
