Seemingly when you think you leave a pigeon behind they seem to follow. Old Town had this beautiful pigeon who kept pecking at food, plants and flying around people who dodged them.
A day at the local zoo in Albuquerque, New Mexico was the ticket for a great day of family fun. My families favorite animal exhibit was the beautiful Pink Flamingos.
As the weather was warm finally, it was a great day to take a stroll on the back trails of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The trees were still bare in some areas but flourished in others. The rays of sunshine beamed and a cool breeze made for the perfect Sunday stroll.

In Albuquerque, New Mexico as well as many other places, murals are painted on the walls of alleys or store fronts. This alley way has one of the most unique murals.

The glass skyscraper, clean streets, historical buildings, monumental horses and hearts, truly all an inspiration to all who visit Amarillo, Texas. So much to learn and so much to see, can't wait to someday return.

This offers a similar but slightly different view from itβs more famous cousin, Tunnel View. Valley View offers views of El Capitan and Bridalveil Falls in the classic juxtaposition but Half Dome is not visible from this vantage point. However, instead of Half Dome, the lovely and serene Merced River graces the foreground between these two icons providing some beautiful texture to otherwise cold granite vistas. The view is particularly nice in fall when the grasses in the Merced River change color, in winter when the meadows are draped in snow, and early spring when Bridalveil Fall is at itβs peak.
