If you wish to purchase any of the images you see here, or [...]]]></description>

If you would like some music to go with it, this Miriam Makeba cover of Brand New Day seems especially appropriate.

		<title>Looking West at Sunset, September 4, 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sunset, September 4, looking west
You have seen the rainbow in the purple-pink sky from September 4.  That was looking east, toward the Sandia Mountains.
There was an equally spectacular view looking to the west.

		<title>New Sky Series: Sky Light II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This photograph is the first in a new series of skyscapes.
Photographs in the Sky Light I series were &#8220;grounded&#8221; &#8211; although mostly sky, something in the photograph tied the viewer to the earth.
In the Sky Light II series, the viewer is allowed &#8211; indeed, encouraged &#8211; to let thoughts to soar beyond the grounded earth. [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Day in the Life of Datura</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have posted previously about Sacred Datura (&#8221;Jimson Weed,&#8221; &#8220;Georgia O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s Flower&#8221;).  Over the last day I had the opportunity to photograph a bud just as it was barely opening at 4:23 pm yesterday (yes, that dirty yellow-green color is typical at that stage, believe it or not!), as it was beginning to unfurl [...]]]></description>
