Church in Nambe

Sacred Heart Church in Nambé, New Mexico. A fairly new church built in a traditional style.

Acmon Blue Butterfly

A tiny acmon blue butterfly. These butterflies are about the size of a small fingernail and have been flitting all over the southwestern end of the Sandia foothills lately.

Bird in Autumn

I'm sorry to say that I have no idea what kind of bird this is. I saw it at the Rio Grande Nature Center last weekend.

Stucco and Prickly Pear

A stucco wall lit by the late afternoon sun.

Gilman Tunnels

Looking out of one of the Gilman Tunnels, in the Jemez.

The Longest Fall

This is a composite of two photos I took yesterday: the desert marigold and western pygmy blue butterfly in the Sandia foothills; and the grass and leaves in Albuquerque's bosque. Don't know that I've ever seen butterflies (or desert marigolds, for that matter) this late in the year before.

Blue Window

Love that low, late-afternoon, autumn light!
