One beautiful spring day I decided to go hiking at Las Trampas. It was my first hike in a long time in a place other than the trails at the barn where we keep our horse. I took a few photos and many of them were of wildflowers. Later, I looked through them for something to paint, and this shot of a fiddleneck flower stood out. I liked juxtaposition of the hills in the background and the close-up flowers.
Here is another scene from our little hike in Valles Caldera, NM, last October. The trail wandered through open forest near the edge of a big area of grassland. One bright aspen stood out against the dark pines. It was a great place to be on a beautiful fall day.
