" BLUE MONDAY "

" THE BLUE SKIES OVER THE SANDIA MOUNTAINS "


I'm a native New Mexican, living in Albuquerque. To the east of Albuquerque are the Sandia Mountains. The Sandia Mts. are enchanting and the skies are so blue. Here's a beautiful picture taken at sunset, this makes the Sandia Mts. look red. That's why they call them the Sandia Mts. which means watermelon.


The Rio Grande River runs though the middle of Albuquerque. This beautiful pictures shows the river and the Sandia Mountains


The full moon over the Sandia Mts. is a site to see. The Moon looks so big, you feel like you can reach out and touch it. I don't think I would ever leave New Mexico and move elsewhere. The land of Enchantment is just that Enchanting.

    However, you forgot to add the link to BLUE MONDAY on your post. Please put the bluebird here along with my link so that others can join in the fun:

  7. Great blue to share today. Your photos are lovely. I have been in New Mexico but I think I would miss our green mountains here in NC if I ever left here. It is good that we love where we live.

    Have a happy day.

    Hugs...Jeanne

  9. Blog hopping and came across yours and I wanted to say hello. I see that you turn 50 this year. I turned 50 last year and it was certainly a milestone for me!

    Your pictures are beautiful. Love that last one with the full moon...

  10. I love Albuquerque...we have been there a lot on vacations. The beautiful mountains are a sight to behold. We took a couple grandsons on a trip there several yrs ago and rode the Sky Ride up to the top. So beautiful and so much fun for two little boys and their proud grandparents. :)

  13. I have been to New Mexico a couple of times. We have lived in many different and wonderful places... for me, it was hard to choose.. so now, I live with and take care of my parents. A good choice in the long run. Lovely blues... thanks for stopping by.

  15. I have been in the Northeast all of the years I can remember...a brief time in Nebraska before I was old enough to really take it in.

    I love seeing photos of the lovely southwest.
    Thanks!
