December Sunset
One more sunset before Solstice. Tomorrow night will mark the transition into winter. Note how far south the sun is now, compared to the summer sunset photos.
Just in time for holiday gift giving, and for those who have asked for a book with more photographs of the Albuquerque area, “The Beauty of Albuquerque, New Mexico” is now available for order. You may preview it here. Thanks for the interest you have shown in my photographs.
'Gentle Giant' in the garden of Lois Brandt
Yesterday I posted a photo of a rose in my yard, covered with snow from the night before.
My mom lives less than a mile from me, but her yard is much warmer than mine. I was quite surprised to see that she still had hybrid teas blooming on Thanksgiving Day.
Last night was very cold, and the skies were clear, so I imagine that today even her roses will be done. But what a beautiful little surprise her roses on Thanksgiving were.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Although I prefer to print the sky photos on brushed metal, many people have requested a collection of some of the sky photographs in book form. So, here it is, available for order by clicking on the photo.
Enjoy.
Rose Hips
When people think about the beauty of roses, we often do not think of the beautiful hips, which provide food for birds in the winter (among other uses). They are beautiful and colorful in their own right.
Peach 'Bonanza'
The dwarf peach ‘Bonanza’ is a beautiful little tree in spring, summer, and winter; but it is not usually known for its colors in the fall, at least in the desert Southwest. This fall has proven to be spectacular, as has the little dwarf peach, ‘Bonanza.’
