Cottonwood and Sunset

A cottonwood tree is silhouetted by a sunset at Elena Gallegos Picnic Area.

Greater Sandhill Crane

A greater sandhill crane, migrating through the Rio Grande Valley, forages for food in the snow.

Truck with Sunflowers

An old pickup truck bordered by sunflowers; the color version is here. I was very excited to learn that this photo took first place in the black-and-white category of New Mexico Magazine's 6th Annual Photo Contest (published in the January 2007 issue).

A matted and framed print of this photo will be available for bid in the silent auction at Roadrunner Food Bank's annual Souper Bowl fundraiser on January 27. You can learn more about the event here.

Snow

There's still a huge amount of snow all over Albuquerque. It reminds me a lot of White Sands.

New Year, Fresh Snow

A lone cottonwood leaf rests, near the end of the day, in freshly-fallen snow.
