Our hike along the west rim was timed well. This lone tree on the hill was perfectly placed at sunset as we returned along the trail. The Rio Grande flows from Colorado to the south through northern New Mexico just west of Taos.

How I See It 
I do enjoy silhouettes. This is a nice one.
Me, too. Last evening, we saw them all over here in Enid, OK. I didn’t have a camera. 😦

Just a little more about our trip to New Mexico…
What a beautiful picture.
Nice tree!!
Thanks.
All of your recent posts are inspiring me to get outside. Beautiful photo.
Thank you, Sara. That is kind of you to say.
I’m glad you stopped by.
Good news! I went on a nature walk this morning! The early morning sunshine felt great. 🙂
We have tried a lot of hikes and walks at different times and seasons the past couple of years. Some of the best are early, before sunrise. You get to watch the awakening. It is a great way to start the day. Last winter, we did some winter hikes. More challenging. But, well worth it. One favorite was in Ohio.
