Terrific shot, Pierre!

Beautiful!

May the Light and Magic of Solstice bring lots of love, peace, appreciation, and creativity.

Thanks!

One of the most remarkable areas of red and other rock formations. Millions of years of Earth's geological history are revealed. The magnificence is jaw-dropping at every turn, and the vastness engulfs one with deep feelings and incredible Nature energies. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Thanks!

After more than two-and-a-half months, we hiked off trail up to the rock cliffs in the Nature Preserve. It was a wondrous experience to be amongst the ancient trees, amazing rock formations, lichens, cacti, shrubs, and incredible vistas. We wound up taking a more strenuous and exhausting...

Thanks!

We set out mid-morning for our first ever winter visit to the canyon. The narrow, twisting road had a fair number of scary icy and snow-covered patches, but Diana's bad weather Michigan driving skills were up to the challenge. There were very few places to stop due to the snow banks, but we...

Lovely and evocative set, Tony! Looks like a great place to visit.

I average about two hikes a week, weather permitting. Last year I made it to 100, plus 11 kayaking trips. Distance is irrelevant. The journey is the destination, and I take lots of photographs so move quite slowly.

This is in northern New Mexico, northwest of Taos. So no borders, but definitely excellent hiking. Thanks!

Thanks! Here are a few more from yesterday's hike. Enjoy!

Thanks!

Merci beaucoup!

What more fitting way to celebrate the positive outcomes of yesterday's election than to explore off-trail in the Nature Preserve. It was a beautiful sunny day, and we discovered a new route up to the base of the cliffs. The climb was strenuous, with steep and rocky footing, but there were...

Thanks very much, Tim!

Despite frost and icy winds, we set out for an off-trail excursion. Scrambling up to a few new areas just below the rock cliffs was an opportunity to divest the thermal layers, marvel at Nature's wonders, and bask in the sunshine. The soaring rock formations, gnarled junipers, lichens, and...

A marvelous warm, sunny late October day, perfect for an off-trail adventure. We had a strenuous scramble to just below the soaring rock cliffs, and traversed along them for several miles. The wonders of Nature – boulders, rock formations, ancient trees, cacti, and colorful shrubs – were...

We are very fortunate. Thanks!

After snow, sleet, rain, cold, and clouds, finally a warm sunny day, perfect for another off-trail adventure. We took a different route, and after a scramble wound up just below the cliffs for a lunch break. Then it was on to the western end of the mesa top, with its 150-mile views. The...

A solo hike today amidst wonderful rocks, boulders, shrubs, and even a few late wildflowers. With an early snowstorm on the way, it was good to get out and connect with Nature. It always offers a much greater perspective, with stillness and inner peace. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8...

The warm days of Indian Summer in the high country have ended. Long pants and thermal tops were needed for our off-trail adventure in the Nature Preserve, especially with a chilly wind. There are always new places and wonders of Nature to discover on these excursions, finally scrambling up to...
