Here is what happens in Santa Fe NM when the sky shifts at Sunset! It is both a blessing to witness and a reminder that change surrounds us with opportunities. Sometimes a sunset can spark our imagination to see things differently. In our real estate world now, the word "shift" has another meaning. Maybe it is time to see those as opportunities and explore new ways to respond to change.Now if you are sold on New Mexico and on the move, you can search for homes and find valuable real estate information, facts and news here. Let's connect soon and maybe someday you can see these glorious sunsets!Thank you for reading and/or commenting on this blog post.

A lot can happen when you leave the screen of real estate by walking away from your computer or laptop or ipad. If you can focus on one thing for a moment and look around outside, the odds are you will discover something new and most likely amazing if it comes from nature. This is what I found. A true natural wonder. This prickly pear cactus decided to stop me in my tracks with one of her many yellow blossoms. My next move was to take out my iphone and pretend I was a bee gliding in for an aerial view. Enjoy! And remember to leave the screen and see what nature is doing for a change.

    Every morning before sunrise I return my birdfeeder back to its post and food source for the birds and yes... rabbits and so many other surprises. I bring the feeder in at night to make sure any of the wandering bears passing by down from the mountain do not stop at my home. You see my bird feeder has become the center for activity beyond the birds for my local wildlife park. Perhaps the birds are on twitter tweeting about it which brings so many others as soon as the feeder is back.. In the past month, one of the visiting ground squirrels have learned to climb the pinon tree; three deer have discovered how to use their tongues to twist the feeder and enjoy a feast of seeds. Fortunately their birdfeeder manners border on sloppy and there is tons of food left on the ground for the ra...

The Lilacs are blooming in Santa Fe. Did you hear? Can you smell them? Do you see the lilacs everywhere in Santa Fe? The Lilacs are blooming in every color in Santa Fe. You can find them nearly everywhere calling out for you to stop everything for a moment and just enjoy their beauty. The soft sweet smell of the white lilac flowers ones caught me by surprise on this Earth Day morning. Frankly, I can not remember ever seeing mine bloom before Mother’s Day.Now they them blossom under our Santa Fe blue sky light. Once again, it was time to stop everything real estate and let my imagination enjoy this Earth Day gift. Hope the next time your imagination calls, you will take the time to answer.And if you are still imagining living in Santa Fe, now is the time to take advantage of our bloomin...

  Here is a weather quiz from Santa Fe. Why is there no snow in my driveway? What a difference weather can make on expectations, plans and real estate. Here is what happened. Yesterday, it began to snow in Santa Fe following a day of nearly 81 degrees. It was a very unexpected wet heavy snow. It was still snowing at 10 PM last night when I brushed the snow off my about to be lilac blossoms to save their delicate branches. I woke up early this morning to clear my car and driveway for another real estate adventure. To my surprise, I discovered this scene waiting for me. Why do you think there is no snow in my driveway or on my dirt road this morning? Let’s see if you have any ideas? Here is a clue. I did not clear the driveway. I will be back after our Santa Fe Properties office meeting ...

  Being behind the camera whether it is a smart phone, iPad or digital camera is often where I begin my day. My daylight savings time day began with another opportunity to see a new Santa Fe snow painting. Lately, our winter has been arriving in the dark and leaving us with snow painting surprises in the morning. This tree caught me eye because of the happy tweeting bird sounds from within her snow covered branches. And of course, the moment before I clicked the shutter, they flew off leaving this glorious snow painted pinon (the name for our Santa Fe pine trees) behind. After all some birds are shy!Santa Fe is in the high desert of the southwest. This means we live at 7500 feet and are blessed with four seasons. Like the landscape, we are learn to adapt just to be in the truly magical ...

    I think snow paints when she falls. Which is why I love Santa Fe's seasons. It is March in Santa Fe and winter decided to pay us a visit in the night like a gypsy.By dark, it looked like a mini-blizzard with all kinds of warnings about winter. Now, winter has come to Santa Fe for centuries and frankly I fail to understand why anyone has to be warned. It is as if snow is an enemy or something. For our community, snow is a blessing because it is water. At the same time, when daylight arrives and the snow has settled, the landscape in my Northside Vista Encandata neighborhood is transformed into another one-of-a-kind moment. I made this image around 8:30 this morning facing east looking towards the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. It was still snowing in the mountains when I clicked th...
