From June 2016: the Brazos Cliffs, northern New Mexico.

Here Mountain, Mountain by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While at a roadside pullout along U.S. Route 64 with view looking to the west-southwest to ridges and peaks present with the Brazos Cliffs in the Tusas Mountains. What I wanted to capture with this image was a zoomed in view to those cliffs, but include some foreground interest along the mountainside, leading up to them. The rest was balancing the overcast skies above which would be a color contrast to complement the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image.

We Should Share Silence Hand in Hand by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: We Should Share Silence Hand in Hand Not because I don't want to hear you It's because I actually want to listen to you So maybe by stopping, I will take note And see all the wonderful things about you A cool Autumn breeze blowing across a grassy meadow Smells from evergreens on a distant hillside Brazos Cliffs rising in the mountains So I have taken note and will remember What you said and what I experienced and received Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon in northern New Mexico at a roadside pullout along U.S. Route 64 with a view looking to the northwest. What I wanted to capture with this image was setting was a look across a grassy meadow as it went down a hillside and then across two more distant ridges and peaks of the Tusas Mountains with the Brazos Cliffs, more or less in the image center. I loved the idea of just listening and watching the simple beauty to my front that day. The rest was just pulling back on the focal length to bring out a wide-angle feel for the image capture and then angling my Nikon SLR camera to capture a sweeping view to my front.

Nature Has a Special Way of Saying Hello to Me by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the west-northwest while taking in views across a grassy meadow and nearby evergreen forest to more distant ridges and peaks of the Brazos Cliffs and Tusas Mountains. This is at a roadside pullout along U.S. Route 64 in northern New Mexico. My thought in composing this image had been to pull back on the focal length to include more of the surrounding landscape and with foreground interest, while still aligning the cliffs in the image center.

Experiencing Things Physical by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: Experiencing Things Physical While capturing things with my eye Walking forward, backward, and spinning around I have the gift of time spent And a wondering mind It's magical and explainable A story told in words and photos by me. Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon in northern New Mexico with the southern Rocky Mountains. The view is looking to the northwest to the ridges and peaks with the Brazos Cliffs in the Tusas Mountains. This was at a roadside pullout along U.S. Route 64. With this image, I zoomed in a little with the focal length to center the cliffs off in the distance, while still including some foreground interest with the nearby grassy meadow and forest of evergreen trees.
