When my lovely wife [Penelope](http://peneloper.com/) and I were staying in Taos, we decided to go rock hounding around the [Enchanted Circle scenic byway](http://www.byways.org/explore/byways/2082/). We took a 4WD trail up a mountain and took some photos near [Angel Fire](http://www.angelfirenm.com/): [](https://eecue.com/p/29279/Penelope--Dave-and-Blue-J.html) [](https://eecue.com/p/29277/Clouds-and-Mountains.html) [](https://eecue.com/p/29276/Dave-and-Penelope.html) You can see more in my [Angel Fire New Mexico gallery](http://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1480-1-Angel_Fire.html).

[Penelope](http://peneloper.com/) and I stayed in an [Earthship](http://www.earthship.net/) in Taos. For years I have dreamt of building an Earthship, and someday I may do just that. We really enjoyed our stay and Taos, like the rest of New Mexico is beautiful: [](https://eecue.com/p/29268/Sunset-and-an-Earthship.html) [](https://eecue.com/p/29270/Rio-Grande-Gorge.html) [](https://eecue.com/p/29272/Rio-Grande-Gorge-Bridge.html) More photos in my [Taos gallery](http://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1479-1-Taos.html)
