From Arkansas to New Mexico

I drive from Dad’s house towards Albuquerque to see my friends Sam and Jessica. It is scenic in a way that is entirely different than the coast.

 

I find a buffalo in Oklahoma:

 

The cold of Oklahoma bites into me, and so I am glad to get into the warmer temperatures of Texas. I find cotton once I get there:

 

Not to mention the very familiar sight of oil wells:

 

I enjoyed lunch out in the grasslands, a view that reminded me of Arizona:

 

And then it was on to New Mexico. I drove through the Cimarron Canyon, which was full of gorgeous views:

 

It was cold enough that all the ponds and streams were iced over:

 

The sun headed towards the horizon at Eagle’s Nest, just outside of Taos:

 

 

I spend the night in the artsy town of Toas, editing photos in a coffee shop/movie rental store. Tomorrow I head south for Albuquerque.
