Journey to New Mexico Part. 1

Back in November (yes, yes, you can all yell at me about being bad about updating this blog....but later, after you enjoy all the wonderful pictures...) we headed back to New Mexico to see family and friends for a short visit.  One of the places we stopped at was Shidoni Foundry and Sculpture Park in the small town of Tesuque and we had a blast seeing all the amazing art.  This place has not only the working foundry (which you can tour and watch them cast the bronzes), but also an art gallery and blown glass gallery.  The lady working there was wonderful, and answered all of our questions about casting as well as let us take pictures of the artwork.  We were even allowed to pick some apples off the centuries old trees.  I'll stop writing so you can get to admire some of the beautiful artwork we saw.  I definitely encourage you to stop by and visit.

Who doesn't love giraffes?

This fellow would make for a stylish ride around town

Yes...I like to make silly expressions

Finally wrestled the camera away from the hubby and got to take pictures of him and stop the ones of me

This picture doesn't do this sculpture justice

Really would have loved to buy this one.  The colors were amazing.

Again, it's hard to capture the scale and beauty of this sculpture in photo form.  This one was probably my favorite.
