Sky Watch Friday: Santa Fe Rodeo

Here's a photo I took while in Santa Fe in June visiting my son, Jon. My husband and I were making our big move from Illinois to Hawaii. Jon said he had a surprise for us during our 3 day visit in New Mexico on the way to California where we would be shipping our van to Hawaii. We thought he might be taking us to a concert or an art show or perhaps some garden exhibit. What a huge, delightful surprise for me. It was my first rodeo. As the sun set behind the bronco riders, I took this shot. It brings back lovely memories when I see it.

For even more incredible shots, please join us at Sky Watch Friday.

Albuquerque, New Mexico

We got up early this morning and made our own waffles again at the Travel Lodge. We're getting pretty good at this.


Jon drove us to the Old Town Plaza which was a focal point of Albuquerque's community since 1706. We got our gifts to bring back to Hawaii.




The San Felipe de Neri Church was just beautiful. We were surprised that there was a sign inside saying we were welcome to take photos.


Our son's girlfriend, Sarah was able to join us for this outing.



We enjoyed our stay at the Old Town Plaza looking at all the gift shops and art galleries.

Tonight, Jon and Sarah have something planned for us and I have no idea what it could be. Apparently we have to get some warm clothing for this experience. There's a 30% chance of showers so........ what could it be?
