Sunset Over Picacho for Skywatch Friday

From our new house just outside Las Cruces, New Mexico, we look up at the Organ Mountains to the east; but we can see Picacho Peak through the pecan groves to the west. "Picacho" means "peak" in Spanish; so we are really calling this little (4959 ft.) mountain "Peak Peak."

This shot was taken at our fence, looking through one of the groves that surround our home. These last few days have been very windy, so every time we walk out into the yard there are more pecans to be harvested from the wind-blown pods that fly over the fence.

For sky photos taken at all times, day and night, see Skywatch Friday. There are over 350 participants, and you will see some breathtaking photos, indeed. Thank you to hosts Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy, Louise, and Sylvia, who do a terrific job every week!
