Under the Santa Fe Sky...

"The only things in my life that compatibly exists with this grand universe

are the creative works of the human spirit."

Ansel Adams

What took me on an impromptu trip to Santa Fe?

You know that I've been exploring Georgia O'Keefe a bit and 

working with macros of flowers...

Well...I was on the Georgia O'Keefe websit one day...just browsing...

and I found a landscape photography intensive workshop!

The workshop leader was Alan Ross...professional photographer...

and one time assistant to Ansel Adams!!!

Well...since the last time I was in Santa Fe was pretty much just a drive through...

it occurred to me that it might be fun to go and see a bit more...

So I checked with my stepson's girlfriend (who's interested in art and photography)
to see if she would be interested in the intensive and exploring Santa Fe...
and...like me...her only visit to Santa Fe

was also a drive through!  

Sooo...On Thursday the 26th we set off on our little adventure...

The workshop was fun and quite informative...

And filled with interesting little stories about Ansel Adams!

Alan also gives workshops in Yosemite...

in fact...has one scheduled for next week...

which, as it happens is currently closed....

sooo....what to do...what to do???

You guessed it!  

They're coming to Mammoth!!!

They may just hit the jackpot in Fall color...

the color has really started to pop around here.

I'm not signed up for this one...

but maybe a another Yosemite visit is in the future for me!!!
