Gifts from the Land

I believe a precious gift I have is the view from my front windows. The Sandia Mountains are wonderful to watch during the day. I am fortunate that my art room also faces the mountains. They provide me with an anchor of serenity and peace when I look at them. There is also life up there - bears, mountain lions, hawks and the humans - hangliding, hikers, photographers and people who work in the museum and cafe at the top.

I took this shot standing outside my front windows. The angle is wacky, but you get the picture.
