Nature Photos

 

If you enjoy New Mexico's upland flowers but aren't sure what you're looking at, the photos I'll be posting may be helpful. I'll also post images of other examples of nature at her best, though I have fewer of those.

 

I'm not a biologist and neither are most of you, so my groupings will be informal ones—all the blue to purple flowers together, for example. If you are an expert and see something I've misidentified, please contact me via my "Contact" page, which is tabbed at the top.

Sky, clouds, Continental Divide Trail, New Mexico

 

Who wouldn't want to hike under skies like this one? I took the photo near the Continental Divide Trail, on the road from Silver City to Lordsburg, on May 9, 2018. If you like clouds and sunsets and similar scenes, in August of that year I started a page dedicated to such pictures. You can reach the page by clicking on the photo.
