Sunflowers seemingly overtake the NM roadways during late summer and early fall--this one, on Rio Grande Blvd, was backlit this morning. A vivid reminder that summer is over.
The highest and longest narrow guage railroad operating in the US today is the Cumbres & Toltec route between Chama, NM and Antonito, Co - wonderful way to celebrate my Dad's 84th birthday!
Just one week ago today, I was driving home from a Canadian vacation when snow started flying just outside of Helena, MT. Stopping to take images of the trees, I found these wildflowers totally burdened with snow--it this a forecast for things to come this winter?
A touch of autumn is in the air--cooler nights and the smell of green chili roasting. These daisies along NM 14 will soon be gone, but I enjoyed the early morning dew on them a couple weeks ago.
