Dripping Springs Natural Area is just 10 miles from Las Cruces, and is a place to go for peace and birdsong and some pretty nice views.

One of the things I like about living in the west, the land is not hidden by a blanket of green.
ReplyDeleteYour header is beautiful.
Beautiful sky shots, and I love the mountain views also!
ReplyDeleteI really like the terrain. The city is lovely with the mountains in the background. And I like the way you can see for miles.
ReplyDeleteOh, those mountains that spring out of nowhere, and the city nestled at their foot.
ReplyDeleteFantastic views & blues!!!
ReplyDeletethanks for taking us on a road trip for some skywatching.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place! Great shots.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and mountains!! You have the flat landscape and the exciting mountains "coming up", it makes impressions! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and interesting! Similar coloring to my local scenery, but your boulders and hills are shaped differently.
ReplyDeleteThat does look lovely. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a long time since I was through this area. I believe it looks better now.
ReplyDeleteNice road trip! Your header photo is great, too! Nice perspective on the winding road.
ReplyDeleteAnd the white specks of wildflowers on the roadside adds beauty to the landscape!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, and the city sure has a beautiful backdrop when you look back at it. Super!!

I have always had a special liking for the kind of places you've displayed in your pictures... away from the world, peace & silence :-)
