A taste of New Mexico

I love cottonwood trees. They are the soul of New Mexico.

Take a walk with me down Chile Alley.

The official State question of New Mexico is "Red or green?" This is because we put chile on everything. I love both, however, I judge a restaurant by it's red.

Yeah I love you too my chile love.

The Dog House has been on Route 66 in 'Burque New Mexico for decades. I loved the sign as a kid and I devour these, the best chile cheese dogs anywhere in the world, as an adult.

Best burgers in the world are green chile cheese burgers. Every town in New Mexico has several places to get some. Some are better than others. It's like the NBA every one is a superstar.

Deserts, mountains, biggest most beautiful skies, vistas that seem endless. Touch the land, it will haunt you forever.

Snow at ranch in Mountainair, New Mexico

Snow clouds moving in.

Here it comes, fluffy stuff forming in high atmosphere.

My dad, the toughest rancher I know.

Frozen beef.

Some of the cows huddling near the barn to keep warm.

NM snow is the fluffiest stuff on Earth.

Snow accumulation was about 6 to 8 inches at the ranch.

My dad wishing I worked as hard on the ranch as I do with photos.

Me, enjoying the snowfall. Looking forward to skiing. Taos, maybe?

I had just smashed the ice, so the cows could drink.

Cows On Ice.

Yummy yummy alfalfa.

The cows running to us for their food.
