Photos of the day – 5.5.2012

I read that this evening would find us with the biggest and brightest full moon of 2012 and it did not dissapoint.  It’s the 2012 Supermoon, shot from Albuquerque. I did however need to jump into the car after I loaded up my tripod and camera so that I could get closer to the mountain […]

We all knew that this day was upon us, because we have had two teases since the first snow on the second weekend of the Balloon Fiesta. I climbed it yesterday, but didn’t take out the camera, nothing really stuck my fancy.  Above 9,000 feet there was about an inch or two on the trail […]

A 4:45am wake up sent me to the computer in the other room to check the actual weather conditions at the balloon fiesta park.  Fearful of the forecast, I was most pleased that the winds were calm.  We woke our guest and were out the door just after 5:30. Later in the park she said […]
