Nice to have you back. Please if you have a chance, look back at some of my original photos from New Mexico, (there are a number of posts) especially the aspens and the one on the Rio Grande with Baca's poem. I would like to know what you think. Thanks.

Jeannie - do you think they hid the weapons of mass destruction?
Stephanie - More of Mexico to come.
Kim - don't you love Haiku My Heart Fridays and getting to see what everyone does?
