STARTING UP HYDE PARK ROAD, LEAVING SANTA FE, WE CAN SEE THE CANYOU THAT THE ROAD HEADS UP

THE WILDFLOWERS ARE EVERYWHERE IN A MAD PROFUSION OF COLOR AND SMELL

AND THE CANYON GETS MORE AND MORE BEAUTIFUL ...THIS ABOUT 10 MINUTES FROM THE SANTA FE PLAZA

INDIAN PAINTRUSH ADD A SPLASH OF RED TO THE ALREADY SPECTACULAR FOREST SIGHTS...BUT ONE MUST HAVE A SHARP EYE TO SPOT THESE LITTLE FLOWERS

SPEAKING OF SHARP EYES, A SHARP EYE WILL CATCH A DEER DOE GRAZING IN THE LONG GRASS AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD

...AND EVERYWHERE ARE THE ASPEN ....

....IN GROVES,

...AND GLADES
