My brother and nephew were here visiting from NYC last week and they spent most of their time here outdoors.

From Williams Lake to Bandelier, they did a lot of exploring and I was gifted with some fabulous shots of the terrain they covered.

Beautiful mountain pastures juxtaposed with massive rockfall.

From rafting the Rio Grande to coming face to face with Bambi on a trail they hiked, they really got a taste of Northern New Mexico in the summertime. I told them the next time they visit they should bring a trail camera to set up for a few days, so they can try and have a look at “Bambi” without it being spooked by people on the trail, you’re also able to click for more info on deer trail cameras if you wish to learn more.

They captured a lot of this diversity through their lenses.

They generally come every winter to ski but this year I’m lucky to have them visit twice and the seasonal images are always welcome. Especially the deer not quite in the headlights!
