Smokin Beauty

New Mexico has been plagued with fires this year.  We are getting smoke in our city from the large Arizona fire as well as all the fires around the state.  At times the smoke is so thick you can not go outside.  While this is troublesome for people with health problems and for the state in general, the sunrises and sunsets have been spectacular.  The firey red ball is in the sky all lit up and luminating in the distance. 

These sunrise pictures are taken from my rooftop at about 6:00am.

My window is showing its dirt... but the way the sun was lighting up the sky was just awesome.



Sunset pictures at about 7:30pm from my rooftop.

We are all doing a rain dance here in New Mexico.  We have not had rain in over 200 days.

Another Yum-alicious variey...

It's red... so it's healthy right?

Pomegranate... it has to be healthy. Right?

I keep telling myself it can't be that bad since it has Pomegranate in it. 

I do like this wine.

Black Bear

Her name is "Osa Negra" which means Black Bear.  She is a pure bred German Shephard.  Most people do not think she is shephard because she is pure black.  She had an ear infection which made her her left ear flop :0(    She is a super sweet dog that loves to play.

Sisters...

My girls are only 20 months apart and are usually the best of friends.  This picture was taken Christmas day.  They were snuggling watching a movie on the laptop.

Good Morning...

I seem to see the prettiest sunrises on my way home from taking my daughter to school between 6:40am and 6:50am.  I race home, locate my camera and hop on my rooftop to take pictures.  The window was short this morning.  The orange and yellow came and went within 5 minutes as the clouds covered the sun.  

This is just a reminder that sometimes the windows and opportunities in life are short too.

XO, C.

{ SMILE } and be happy
