Coming out of the cool mountains of Arizona into New Mexico there is a gradually changing of the flora. There has been a lot of monsoon rains so everything is very green and the grasses are growing tall. We love the cooler temperatures and rain...had almost forgotten what it feels like since we live in the high desert year round.
We are now in SW corner of New Mexico which is more barren with lots of yucca plants. Will be seeing lots of grandkids as my husband has three in this area and I have one grand son in NE New Mexico. Hope to get some photos of the grands to show next post. We have twenty-one grand children all together living throughout the western states.

Looks like you're having a wonderful trip. These are beautiful photos of the New Mexico scenery.
ReplyDeleteWow...twenty-one grand children!
Green is such a restful color. I loved driving up to Kolob and taking the Taylor Canyon hike... or going to Navajo Lake to sit under a quaking Aspen when we lived in Southern Utah. I found it replenishing. This is a pleasant respite for you, I'm sure. It's supposed to be opretty hot in your home town the next few days... you picked a great time for your trip.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to pix of the kids!
I traveled cross country in 1976! Seems like a lifetime ago. Have a great time!
