My Favorite Photograph.......Santa Fe,New Mexico

 

During the first years of my visits to Santa Fe, when I was trying to decide whether or not my heart would feel happy in " The City Different", I rented a charming casita on Romero Street.....just a block or so off of the Railyard District.

Next door to the casita was a very attractive house which was owned by some folks from the state of New York.

One August day, I decided to capture the neighbors' beautiful Holly Hawks with my Canon. I made a number of shots but feel like this particular frame was my best effort.

In order to get this shot, I had to get down on the sidewalk....literally. My getting up afterwards must have been quite a sight. And yes....the sky and the gate were really the same shade of sapphire blue that day.

I feel so blessed when I am in Santa Fe. There is just something about those skies which makes my soul feel at home....at last.
