Four landscape views from northern New Mexico. 1) From Los Poblanos, a guest house on a lavender farm along the Rio Grande in Albuquerque. We also stayed there 8 years ago, and a white peacock (the same one?) roosted in the same cottonwood, as the moon (the same one) rose behind him. 2) A patch of golden aspens on Mount Baldy, above Santa Fe. We were there at the peak of fall colour, a very popular event, but managed to find a trail on the edge of the Pecos wilderness area with no other people (and not quite as much oxygen as a coastal-dweller might like). 3) A quick sketch of the view on the Turquoise Trail between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. 4) The Rio Grande rift valley near Taos, drawn after soaking in a hot spring along the edge of the river.
