Happy Solstice

Winter Solstice Cold Full Moon rising over the Sacramento Mountains at Oliver Lee State Park NM, 5:45pm.

We strung lights on a huge creosote bush alongside the road by our trailer. Many of the people who are here in the campground have expressed their appreciation.

PIP status

Managed to get a bit more done on this today before going into Alamogordo to do laundry & grocery shopping.


PIP (Painting in Progress)

I've wanted to paint this ever since we stumbled upon this peaceful lake in the heart of Copenhagen last September. I took advantage of a 'wind day' here at Oliver Lee state park NM to work on it & made good progress.

Here's my reference photo and my PIP (Painting in Progress).

Desert Rain

Beautiful morning at Oliver Lee State Park New Mexico. We had a little rain overnight & this morning. The desert vegetation was turning greener, literally as we watched.
The clouds were hanging in Dog Canyon and on the Sacramento Mountains just up the slope from where our RV is parked.

December Morn

Good morning from Elephant Butte Lake State Park NM. The Land of Enchantment!
We were treated to a rare but spectacular sunrise this morning, first one in the week we've been here.
