adventures in the southwest

Welcome to Albuquerque!

I moved to New Mexico four months ago in search of a change of pace and adventure.  The Southwest and it's natural wonders have not disappointed!  I'm hoping this blog will serve as a creative outlet for me and allow me to share my exploration with you.

The Sandia Mountain range is omnipresent from anywhere in Albuquerque.  I've probably taken a couple hundred pictures of it by now because it's always changing and reinventing itself.  
Another view of Sandia. 
The volcanoes of Petroglyph National Monument are another Albuquerque favorite of mine.  Nicknamed the Three Sisters, the three volcanoes are located on the western outskirts of the city and are the result of fissure eruption thousands of years ago.   
A view from the volcanoes after we got a foot of snow!
