The Wild in the City

I’ve taken several trips recently to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. It’s on the northeastern edge of Denver with a view of downtown against the Rocky Mountain skyline. The grasslands of this refuge stretch all the way out to the Denver International Airport. And they support a large amount of wildlife. The largest…

Santa Fe Travels

I’m finally getting around to posting some of my images from Santa Fe last summer. We were there for the Native American Arts Festival last August. I love the light and colors in New Mexico.

French Love Affair 2

Here are photos from day two in our French travels. Avignon was an amazing walled city. Their dedication to history and art is refreshing. And, ah yes, the food markets. I may have been food obsessed that day. A feast for the eyes (and the mouth).
