Blue dot-Red dot trails from White Rock, NM. Starts from the top of a mesa and looks down to Rio Grande snaking through valley and mountains. Trail drops down to river and goes along it.

Solo hiking down to the Rio Grande from a White Rock Parajito Plateau trail. Sometimes the unexpected trails are the best. #rivers #canyons #NewMexico #landscape #photography #hiking

Gosh, it has been years since I have been back there. Used to stay at Sorenson's and hike around Grover Hot Springs. Was more chill than Tahoe area.

Nothing beats iconic Hope Valley in Fall.

Yes, sheep in the house could be a problem!

Young boy in blue jacket and red hat with Canada leaf is about to hit the lake surface with his hiking pole. Kinney Lake reflecting green, blues of sky and mountains.

That moment before you hit the glass surface of the lake just because you can. Kinney Lake, BC. #hiking #mountains #Canada #landscape #landscapephotography #reflections #Stunday

Nice!

Tangled Blue.

One small white lamb and a second black one looking up at me while I greet them over a white wood fence.

Walking the back roads, these two ran up to greet me. ❤️ Do lambs make good house pets? #Onthefarm #Animals #Photography #Farmlife #BlueSkyArtShow

Yes and no. When they asked one panelist what was example of another country that supported families he said Hungary gave out
$30k in forgivable loans and had universal childcare. I almost fell out of my seat. He probably won’t be invited back!

Makes you wonder. 🤣

Backdrop for panel is screen shot of white blond toddler holding the hands of two white parents. All are dressed in white. Moderator and four panelists sit on stage. Screen is flanked by US flag and HUD flag.

Today HUD hosted a webinar on marriage and families in affordable housing. A picture is worth a 1000 words. #housing #marriage ##affordablehousing #family
