Albuquerque

Dimorphocarpa wislizeni  Spectacle pod

I was privileged to spend a few days in Albuquerque, NM during early April. It was amazing and I would love to go back some time. I also got to drive up to Santa Fe and Los Alamo's. Every spare moment I had was spent outdoors looking at Wildflowers, Petroglyphs, Mesa's and Mountains. I even spent a couple hours hiking through snow at an altitude of 10,000 plus feet on Sandia Peak in the Cibola National Forest.Below are many pictures, most unlabeled. I will label as I get the opportunity
