We just arrived home from a great trip out west. We visited Arizona and New Mexico, and spent a few days hiking in Grand Canyon National Park.

The Southwestern landscape is beautiful, and the photo opportunities seemed unlimited.

When we woke up the first morning, there was snow covering the magnificent red rock formations outside our bedroom window. The next afternoon, it was 70 degrees and sunny in Grand Canyon National Park!

During our visit in Santa Fe, we discovered a fantastic gallery that specializes in photojournalism. Andrew and I enjoyed getting to know the gallery owners, Sidney and Michelle. If you're ever in Santa Fe, stop by and visit them! Their collection is a remarkable assembly of historic photographs and emerging artists.
