Someone once told me that they missed the east coast autumns because there the trees turned color. Here in New Mexico they said, there are not only no trees of consequential size, and they don't have the glorious color that occurs in the east. Well, on the way to Ojo Caliente, we saw these stands of cottonwoods. I'd say they rival an east coast autumn.
Wow! They're gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI so agree! I hiked near Socorro this past week and was struck by the ribbon of gold along I-25 from the cottonwoods along the Rio Grande. Fall in New Mexico is magical!
