Feliz Navidad! It is cold & dry. The first thing I heard when I walked outside to feed the birds was a COW in the valley below. Truly I am blessed beyond all measure. #LlanoQuemado #RanchosDeTaos #NM #vaca

This is from the same stroll as the other. The contrail and the bird make this one (you'll have to blow it up to see the latter). That's Picuris peak behind the clouds. Shot from next to my garbage can. 😎 #LlanoQuemado #RanchosDeTaos #NM

Greetings to all! Already shared these next two shots on Twitter and Post. Just experimenting here to gauge quality and reach. This first one is the morning view across the Talpa valley on to Pueblo land (forested) from the Llano ridge. #LlanoQuemado #RanchosDeTaos #NewMexico

Got a buncha quick & dirty videos coming up. This one is REAL #TAOS. Church you'll see on the left replaces a hacienda chapel built in the *1500s*... One family. Don't know where I read that, sorry. Weren't any churches then, so that's what they did. #LlanoQuemado #RanchosDeTaos
