I realize more all the time that being a photographer or at least having my camera near puts me in the mode of looking more carefully at life. Finding the beauty, wonder and uniqueness of all that surrounds me. Be it people, scenery or small things. I remember taking a water color class once and it made me so aware of the colors that are in even the dullest of landscapes as you try to reproduce them and realize it's not that easy. Going on vacation I love to take photos to look at and enjoy later. I still have many photos yet to show you of my trip to Iceland but for today I'll post some snaps of our trip to Santa Fe, NM recently.

I love the red rocks of this area
