Yesterday I sat on a catamaran in the Atlantic Ocean. My toes loved it. So did these toes: This is what the people who belonged to the toes were looking at:

The fall colors in Albuquerque are amazing. We were out on a walk in Bullhead Park when the sun hit the trees just right. I happened to have my iPhone handy to snap a few pictures. This bunch of cottonwoods are just south of Phil Chacon Park. Love the glow.

The Southwest is chock full of cool looking doors. This one is from the Hubbell Trading Post, a National Landmark near Ganado, Arizona. The massive wooden door on this barn was amazing.

I found this picture of my mom and me in my dad’s collection of old pics. I love that she’s laughing and also, in case it’s not immediately clear, I was super cute. 🙂 And if that’s not enough, here’s one of my sister and me:

My son and I saw this guy while hiking in Canyon de Chelly in NE Arizona. We thought he looked almost ready to come to life. What do you think? Tree hugger: Then he got shy:
