Silent Night

It's always so festive in the Plaza at Christmas time! I hadn't yet been out walking the Plaza at night this December... it's been a little chilly for an evening stroll and I have to admit I've been a little partial to staying home in the evenings with a cup of hot chocolate! But after a bit of snow yesterday, I figured it would be the perfect time to get out for a little photography. So glad I did!

Wishing you all a very, very

Merry Christmas!!!

Dreaming of a White Christmas...

Well, according to the weather forecast, it won't likely be snowing here on Christmas... but we did finally get a little snow this week! Not the 4-6 inches that was predicted (we started the week off with rain!) but enough to dust everything in a wintery white... a beautiful day to go out walking... and as luck would have it, I had the day off to do just that! 

 I walked around town for quite some time, in awe at the beauty of it all... smiling a goofy smile. It was one of those days where you just feel happy to be alive... and thankful to have the leisure time to enjoy it!

Just sharing a few pics I've taken around Santa Fe since I've been back. Most were taken the weekend I got here, when they had just gotten fresh snow. I had a couple of days off before I had to get back to work, so I spent some time walking around town & hiking.

Now I'm back to working like crazy, trying to recoup my travel & moving expenses & still looking for a place to call home! I haven't had a chance to do anything artistic since I've been back... but am really looking forward to getting back into it once I get settled in. I can't believe the New Year is just around the corner... the weeks, months, years seem to be flying by lately. 

Wishing you all a Happy & Safe New Year!!!
