I have shown “my” mountain before, but this weekend I was in Corrales, a quaint country village outside of Albuquerque, walking along an arroyo and got some new pictures from a different angle. It was a springlike day, giving me some hope for warmth, but it is over now. We had more rain and snow today. (Sorry for the graininess in some of the pictures. I did not realize until I uploaded that I had one of my camera settings not exactly where it should have been.) All pictures will enlarge when clicked unless otherwise noted.

This is the arroyo along which we walked. Chicklet is in the bottom. During other seasons there are varying amounts of water in this. It stretches for several miles along the "back road" of Corrales. One rarely can take even a short walk beside it without seeing people with dogs and horses.

Your mountain is beautiful!

No worries about the grainy texture, it just adds to the overall charm of the scene.
I too have encountered that problem with my “big” camera. I didn’t realize the setting was not where I wanted it and I took a lot of photos that weren’t good enough to post. Hence, I rely on my little p&s camera, simpler to use.
Glad you are posting more often again.

Louise, this is gorgeous country. Nice to be able to get out for a walk before the snow falls. Nice captures, wrong setting or not.

Louise: Those are great photos and a wonder to see without snow on the ground.

Wonderful shots of the mountains under that blue sky. Spoken of that sky: I don’t think I’ve ever seen this color blue in our skies.

Léia and little LUNA ( Today is Luna’s birthday, 7 years old!)In fact I’m not forgot it,I intend to do some beautiful and cute post about her,just I got an awful “cold” and it got me crazy…useless…
But today I’m feeling better, I also got school to take my daughter today.Yesterday, no way to do it! LOL
Any conclusion about school problems?
I hope things are okay, I’m really concerned about it and I would love to see changes about school mentality and so on…
Good luck dear Louise!
