It is now mid-fall in Santa Fe and you can tell it by seeing the Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations in the clearance bins and Christmas decorations at the front of every store. See above for a couple of cuties I could not resist! It has been a warm, dry fall here, just beautiful, even though we could use the rain. Blue skies form the perfect backdrop against the golden aspens and cottonwoods. I never get tired of painting the beauty of a New Mexico fall.
