April Snow Line

snow line photo south of Taos

No houses up there, ain’t it grand? »Buy This Photo!«

Crazy energy yesterday morning, what with the late night snow that mostly missed us and the rolling clouds shot through with sun. It was cold, too. Springtime in the Rockies, hoo boy.

Morning Mountain

Taos Mountain in the clouds

All Retina-screen devices served high-res photos, ya know. Zoom in with clarity!
