We had a most delightful walk at Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument. It happened that we were there on Veteran's Day Weekend, so admission was free-- Thank you, vets! As I recall from my only previous visit there (about the same time of year) it can get crowded on a Saturday morning and make people-free shooting difficult. We got there about 9, and the masses didn't seem to arrive (with a lot of young children) until about 10. It is a gorgeous location.

Two more from Santa Fe. Santa Fe, New Mexico. 9 November 2013.

I'm on retreat in Santa Fe for a few days, and between reading a variety of interesting books, I've been giving my camera some exercise. Above is the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis, from my room. The kiva fireplace in my room and the quarter-hour peal of the cathedral bells make for a most ideal setting. Santa Fe, New Mexico. 5 November 2013.

 On an early morning walk. Can't Seem to get the color quite right, so will try again in the afternoon. Santa Fe, New Mexico. 6 November 2013.
 New Mexico Art Museum. What's not to love about adobe and blue sky?

The early morning light makes Kateri Tekakwitha look as if she has tears on her face.
