NEW MEXICO - DAY 3

JULY - 2012

I did get up in time this morning.

And I am so Glad I did.

This Sunrise was Gorgeous!!

Right after I shot the photo above, I looked down

and saw this Black Eyed Susan starting

to turn it's bloom towards the morning sun.

Based on what else we wanted to do for the rest of the

week, and the weather, we decided that

if we wanted to go out on the water again,

it would need to be today.

So, that's exactly what we did.

After lunch, we went over to the marina

so the boys could feed the ducks.

Before we left, I caught Luke

watering the desert.

As soon as the ducks saw us approaching

the water's edge, they came a swimmin'.

We had cat food for them, but they also like corn.

I don't know why this poor little guy

was getting picked on.

Love the coloring on this one.

Despite the horrible heat, the boys had fun.

On the way back through town, I spotted this old

building and had Dad circle around the

block so that I could photograph it.

Sadly, the week after we returned to Virginia,

this building was torn down.

So Glad I got these images.

On this particular evening,

we had a little Family Portrait Session.

Of course, I had to get a Great one 

of my Mom and Dad.

 Then I snuck into one when trying to get one

of the Grandparents/Grandsons.

The sunset tonight was Incredible.  

Dad and I planned on driving up on the plateau

so that I could get an unobstructed view,

but as we turned onto the road to get there,

I had him stop so I could get this...

The plateau shot was pretty amazing too!!
