When I told Dottie I was coming for a visit, she gave me lots of options for things we could see and do. I informed her that the only "musts" were seeing her house, the balloon festival, a hike in the mountains, and eating some green chili's. To that end, on Friday morning we headed to the Tree Spring trail in the Sandia Mountains.
I give high marks to this trail for the gradual ascent and variety of things to see. What you can not get from these photos is the incredible smell of the decomposing fall leaves.
The joy of a walk in the woods can not be overstated. If you can also see aspens turning colors, feel the cool of the shade and the warmth of the sun, hear the wind as it moves through the trees, and walk in companionable silence with your sister at the same time... well that is the very definition of complete contentment.
Perfect! ;o)
