Looking UP
When I arrived at Ghost Ranch a week ago, I ended up with a sore neck. I kept looking up. Up at the skies, up at the cliff formations, up at distant mountains, up at the birds. My head was in the clouds. The wide-open spaces wrapped their arms around me and embraced my spirit. I couldn't get enough of the cool mountain air. No humidity. Boy, did that feel good after coming from San Antonio.
I took my camera everywhere with me. It became a part of my hand. Snap. Snap. I felt a sense of urgency. I needed to record the beauty all around me. Somehow it made it more believable. I breathed in deeply. The mountain elevation gave me a lightheaded sense of uncertainty. I knew though that I'd get adjusted to it in a day or so.
Presence. Yes, I guess one could name my sense of wanting to be in the moment. I didn't want to be anywhere but Ghost Ranch. My travels became not only a destination, but the place rooted out a space in my heart.
The photos represent a sampling of my experiences. It was not possible to capture it all in just a week's time. I'd recommend it as a place to visit. A place to take classes. A place to devour a wild slice of America's spicy Southwestern pie.
Happy Viewing!
