Tonight is our last night of three in a beautiful Santa Fe RV park high on this hill overlooking the city and vast open country spreading out for miles to surrounding distant mountain ranges, many snow-capped, and forever present. Yesterday we sprawled over our old friend Santa Fe, and today we went up to rediscover Taos, now grown from simple and authentic 20 years ago to greatly developed and congested.
Best of today was the indescribably beautiful drive up to Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch. Nestled into painted and sculpted mountains, one winds one's way into the valley of well-known Ghost Ranch, a frequent site for Georgia O'Keefe to create her stirring New Mexico landscape
paintings, many in the 1930s. She also drew many other artists to join her at this hideaway.
The pictures below are all taken in and around Ghost Ranch which today is an Educational and Retreat Center, for school and other groups, beyond whatever their central purpose, to be elevated and transported by the amazing natural beauty.
Thanks for your eyes on these postings. It pleases us to share all this, especially due to our neophyte status in this blog phenomenon.
Love, Happy and Peter
