A lovely sunset brings life to an interesting diner along Route 66…

A vintage-looking restaurant along Route 66 in New Mexico…

A collection of 4 photographs from Route 66, specifically in New Mexico. Just some abandoned goodness from the Mother Road!

Sometimes you just have to stop in the middle of the road and take a photo!

A stunning sunset from New Mexico...

An old gas station in Tucumcari, NM along Route 66...still looks good after all these years!

Here's a pair of photos of the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, NM along Route 66, and I also share some insight into shooting this amazing little gem of a town.

The 66 Diner in Albuquerque, NM is quite the place for photography, though I never tried the food.

A beautiful little waterfall I found while hiking in New Mexico...

Today I share a collection of photographs that I took in New Mexico.  I can't believe the light there - I always get such wonderful sunrises and sunsets.  Maybe it's due to some factor I am not aware of, but I don't care.  It helps me get better photos, so I love it!

Back in March, we spent some time in Abiquiu, New Mexico and one afternoon went out to explore a nearby spot known as the White Place, or Plaza Blanca.  It's famous for being the favorite local spot and frequent inspiration of famed artist Georgia O'Keeffe, and it's pretty magnificent.  Today's post is a collection of 23 photos I captured while hiking around there one afternoon.  It's almost a lunar landscape, and I think you will enjoy this.  Have a look!

Today's post is a visual tour of some beautiful spots in Red River, NM.  It's a small town but I am rather fond of it.  Have a look and enjoy!  I'll be back soon with more pics from my current trip in Oregon, and you won't want to miss those!

If you are like me, shooting a bunch of old gas pumps and other antique memorabilia is your idea of an afternoon well spent!  I did just that in Embudo, New Mexico at the Classical Gas Museum, and it was absolutely awesome.  Here's a visual tour of the inside of the museum - 14 photos in all.  It should keep your eyes busy for a bit!  :-)

I absolutely love to get up and shoot the sunrise, and even if it isn't that great, I always feel good getting some creative time first thing in the morning.  But on a recent trip to New Mexico, I planned to sleep in, but I guess Mother Nature had a different idea, because I woke up in time to shoot an absolutely amazing and colorful sunrise.  Here are 12 photos that will give you a good sense of just how beautiful it was!

My family and I spent a recent week in Abiquiu, NM - in this wonderful casita perched high on a hill with a commanding view of the surrounding countryside.  It was beautiful, and of course I took a lot of photos.  Today's post has 14 pics that I took on the evening we arrived, so dive on in and enjoy the sunset and the pics!

Today I wax a bit poetic about my love for the mountains.  There's just something about them, in addition to the generous amounts of beauty and staggering landscapes.  And of course I share a bunch of photos from a trip to the mountains last summer - when I caught some wonderful clouds over an alpine lake.  Good times!

Today's post is a collection of 20 photos from a summer hike up to Middle Fork Lake in New Mexico.  It's a beautiful and secluded spot, and well worth the effort to get to it!  I shot landscapes, waterfalls and even little fairy mushrooms - good fun!  Have a look, and thanks for stopping by!

A week in the mountains is never enough for me, but as an escape from the Texas heat, it sure goes a long way!  Here's a collection of 10 photos from our family trip up to Red River, NM last summer.  Great waterfalls, sunsets, and more!  Oh my!

I stumbled across a little church and a cemetery along an empty road in a deserted corner of New Mexico.  So I stopped and took a few pics!  That's what you would do, right?
