r & r in new mexico

in all of its two-megapixel glory, here are a few our favorite images taken with our iphone camera during some rest & relaxation in sante fe & taos, new mexico. we purposely left our digital slr cameras at home to take a creative break and do more with less. so first thing yesterday we visited bandeleir national monument, which is a sight to see. however, we didn't display our pass on 'our dash' this time, but we did get a good laugh :)


peering out of almost a 1,000 year-old cliff dwelling.


now featuring super national park model, nicole.



and me being me.


experiencing our ancestor's abodes gave us great appreciation for the simple things in life, the true necessities of life: food, faith, water, sun, and shelter.


then we made our way to our favorite rancho de taos church, the st. francis of assisi.


then over to the taos pueblo for some fresh fry-bread. nicole was inside getting the goods while this little pooch wanted in sooo bad.


nicole with the holga and our permit tag hanging, which allowed us to snap photos. in the background is a 'reservation mutt,' who befriended us quickly when he learned we had food.


gotta love funky doors....


and big blue skies...


our favorite taos eatery, the apple tree, was closed for a bit of a winter sabbatical :(


it seems dash finds a girlfriend in every city we visit. his favorite taos husky chases him below.
