This photo was taken about 2 miles away from my front door. When they say the light is special in NM, this is what they mean!

Wow! Is that HDR?
Sunrise at Big Pine Key, FL.
Certainly looks like it doesn't it! This is a repost from a Facebook group called "NM Pics". Always new and amazing photos poping up most everyday. This one was special obviously so I wanted to share with everybody here.

My wife went to college in Albuquerque for three years while I kept the home fires burning in Tennessee. NM is a very special place. I had experiences there that changed my life. We also know people who have moved there from the East. Funny thing, every single one of them says when you move to NM, the state kicks your butt for about 2 or 3 years and then gradually accepts you into its embrace. There seems to be an initiation process for those who relocate. It is an awesomely powerful place.
LOL, I will always remember when I first moved to NM back in 1986. I had just started with LANL and I was talking with a coworker (female) who said it can take awhile for you to be considered a local here in NM.
She married into a family in the very small mountain village of Truchas where almost everybody is related to each other in some way. She said that the people in the village had finally accepted her as a local but it took awhile for them to come around.
I said "how long have you and your husband been married"? She replied, "oh about 25 years".......

LOL - it is the same way in the rural South. If you move from the North, forget about ever being completely accepted. Even my friends remind me I'm a "damned Yankee." Been here since 1990.

Elk
While having coffee this morning, I saw a herd of elk come up out of a draw above the house. I got out the binos, then a spotting scope, then finally, my camera. It was herd of 20 large bull elk all together for a morning snack.

My favorite time of year is when the flowering crabs are in bloom.

Fun with the family - and my husband's glee that they both took a nap afterwards!
