TAOS PUEBLO, NEW MEXICO
.
We spent three days in Taos, New Mexico, and one of our stops was to visit Taos Pueblo.
.
Here you can find a Native American village where the same peoples have lived in the village for over 1,200 years!. Only around 50 people live here now, but many of the families are still close by. They speak their own native language among themselves. They still practice their heritage and some events are open to the public.

RIO GRANDE GORGE BRIDGE
.
While we were in Taos, we got to head over the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge. Driving up to it, you just see wide plains and not until you get closer you see this deep, narrow gorge cutting through. We crossed the bridge and parked and walked across it, quite a sight to see the river 600 feet below you!

FORT FUNSTON BEACH

Awesome wind-shaped trees overlooking the Pacific Ocean at the Sand Dunes of Fort Funston Beach in San Francisco!

This is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area that most people do not take the time to visit.

WEBSITE VERIFICATION
.
Woo hoo! Finally figured out how to get my website verified and get the Green Checkmark. Had to add a snippet of code to my WordPress site and enable it.
.
I am updating this Toot to add the link to the WordPress plugin that I used with instructions to add code to your site.

LIFELONG LEARNING
.
What skills or projects are you all working on (artists, photogs, musicians, everyone) at this moment?
.
Right now I am learning Adobe Photoshop and everyday am more amazed on what I can do in the software.
.
Also have a drawing pad and stylus attached to my computer and trying to get comfortable using it in Lightroom and Photoshop.

And like many of you, figuring out to use this new (to me) Mastodon site!

How about you?

EXPO TEQUILA TIJUANA
.
We spent the weekend enjoying the Expo Tequila Tijuana and the sights, food and drinks on Revolution Avenue.
.
There were around 40 smaller Tequila distilleries showcasing their Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, and Extra Añejo Tequilas. Some venders had Mescal as well.
.
A great way to taste some of the other Tequila brands from Mexico.

FUN WITH PHOTOSHOP
.
Eastern Sierras by Horseback
.
Learning Photoshop as I go. Used three photos from three different trips to the Eastern Sierras.
.
The idea here was to look like a book cover from an Old Western Novel.
.
Used an ocean photo as a background image.
