Cerrillos to Canyon Road
Architecture and art, pi
ñon smoke and the quiet air, these are some of the things that make Santa Fe so special.  Things I love about this town: the way adobe absorbs the sunlight; the patio and coffee at Garcia Street Books; not a single straight road or wall anywhere; art galleries all over the place; mountains always around; coyote fences; farolitos; history; that it's too cute but it captures my imagination; pedestrian- and dog-friendly; the farmer's market; the plaza; the fiestas; the spiritual seekers; the Spanish; the sculpture garden off Canyon Road; the maze of alleys and patios and low crumbling buildings; the statue of a Mohawk woman dressed in southwest turquoise who has been sainted by the Catholic church*; when water is flowing in the Santa Fe river; the street names; the pine trees; that I still know my way around; meeting friends for lunch at Tune-Up.
Location: Santa Fe, NM

Morning commute
From my hotel to the conference every morning. Two things I've been appreciating these mornings: how quickly we establish daily routes, and how walkers can go anywhere - over curbs and small fences, short cuts, wrong ways, one ways, desire paths, trespassing - on foot there's always a way.

Summit Lake
Bears were grazing across the lake and dogs were happy and oblivious when we stopped for a rest and lunch at Summit Lake. We thought we'd go further up the trail, but started late and had sore feet, so headed down for tea.

Neighbourhood Coulees
We have to leave earlier all the time to get a walk in after work but before sunset. There is someone camped out here, not far off the trail but well hidden in this untrafficked part of the coulees. Should we worry? About them, about ourselves? Choosing not to.

Smoky sunset and the coyotes were singing. Every time I walk to this bluff and sit down overlooking the Oldman River, I appreciate living in this particular place a little bit more.

Windfall
It's a hot day at the end of summer, 38
°C in town, so we headed to the high woods.  Green, shady, quiet, well-worn trails through the pine and poplar, and no one else around - a walk like a big drink of cool water.

The sun is late around the neighbourhood. Grateful for the dog who gets me to go outside, breath, walk, pause, in the midst of a rush to work.
