Good Morning,
I will simply leave you with some of my recent images from Bosque del Apache, White Sands National Monument and other of New Mexico’s special places. I was in this magical place for 12 days so I have just been back a handful of days and have not had a lot of time to get as many of my images out as I’d have liked.. but I thought it would be appropriate to at least share a sprinkling of the magic with you on Christmas Day.
Enjoy and more to come soon!
More to come soon … now I am off to spend Christmas with my folks!
Merry Christmas!
Kristen

White Sands National Monument – Double Exposure..
I met and spent 5 days photographing with one of the finest photographers I have ever met, John Ford. He was certainly more knowledgeable than most other professionals that I have met. He is a wildlife editorial photographer, keeps a pretty low profile, but we connected and he shared valuable time and knowledge with me.
The above image in White Sands was inspired by some of his ideas that were kin to me. And the snow geese blast off image below, as difficult as it is to do, was successful with much fore thought and planning collaborating technique and ideas with John.
Special thank you to John Ford 
Snow geese
Burst to flight
to Dance with the Sky
A flurry of orchestrated chaos
Surrounds us with its Serenade..
Marrying us into their world,
Painting us into the Land,
Connecting us to the Pulse of Life,
Imprinting us with their Wisdom,
They expose us to the core of our Soul.
