Beginning and Ending at Rockhound State Park & a Treasure in Between

Today started out with a walk around the campground and some really cool dried blooms and leaves, and then a discovery of a little treasure called the town of Mesilla, New Mexico, near Las Cruces, New Mexico, and ended with a cool sunset thru the screen of our RV.  Take a look......


Love this dried bloom.  I think it's a variation of a yucca, but I'm not certain.....


Here are the leaves at the base of that dried bloom.  I just love the neutral tones of this plant.....


And, in the town of Mesilla, we have bright vivid blooms.  Spring has definitely sprung here....


There was a lovely little cafĂ©, winery, and antique shop (not open today, tho - darn!) called Josephina's.  Love the front entry gate.....


Aren't these happy little flowers?  Just loved them all grouped together at the base of a tree....


And, the day ends with a really cool sunset, as shot thru the screen door of our RV.  I was just curious as to how it would look, and it's kind of interesting.....parts toned down, but not the sun!
 
Enjoy!

Sunrise and Sunset


The day started out with an early morning walk with Jeff & Miki, and ended with our first evening camping at Rockhound State Park near Deming, New Mexico.  Check out the images!


We didn't think that we'd have any sunrise at all, but were surprised.....


I just loved the little cloud just sort of hanging there above the mountain.....


The sunrise did get more spectacular, and I love the silhouette of the tree......


Here's the hazy sunset at Rockhound State Park.  Love the silhouette of the dried yucca bloom against the sun going down.....


Here's the broader view of the hazy sunset......
 
Enjoy!
