It Is What It Is
New Mexico
I can’t emphasize enough just how beautiful New Mexico is. I think it took me twice as long to drive through the Northeast corner, than it should have, because I stopped so many times to take pictures. Yes, it seems flat and endless, but somewhere in all of that wide open space there emerges a timeless beauty. The first picture below is my favorite from the trip so far. I was driving down a back road and out in the middle of a field was this house. It looked so forlorn and abandoned that I had to stop. My imagination replayed what it would have looked like so many years ago, with whitewashed siding and the front door swung wide open to let the prairie breeze in. A handful of kids running around outside and a couple hound dogs lazily napping in the cool dirt under the back door. I’m almost certain that someone had moved it to its current location, as there where no signs of a driveway or path leading to it. All in all though, it whispers a story of long ago, when life didn’t rush by in a 45 MPH zone.
The closer to Colorado I got the more mountains began to appear on the horizon, I stopped at a couple turn outs, to snap some pictures. At one particular stop I caught a glimpse of movement way down under some trees. I was able to zoom in with my camera and saw a bunch of turkeys making their way into the pines.
Authors Note: In the above pictures that show part of my Jeep, I was actually stopped and taking the picture out my driver and passenger side windows…… Just in case you were wondering….lol
