This is primarily a photo gallery of mostly wildflowers photographed on a short hike I took last week in the Sandia Mountains. Please do yourself a favor and look at the large versions of the photos by clicking on any one.

 
 
No camping on this day trip to the mountains next to Albuquerque.

Your photos and stories always make me miss my New Mexico.  I hope you finished off your day with a big plate of "Red or Green...".

Great macro photos! Our wet spring and summer has really made for a good wildflower and butterfly season.

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed looking at your other photos on your blog as well and I have been thinking about a trailer hitch step system for when we finally (hopefully) get a camper.
