#route152

barn and hill along Route 152 by E>mar my favorite stretch of the drive home from Los Angeles; even with a dry year, the hillsides are a resplendent green. https://flic.kr/p/2kTMbrh

Check out the blue-green lichen covering these rocks alongside Route 152 heading east from Emory Pass towards I25 and the Rio Grande. #Lichen #BlueGreenLichen #Route152 #SouthernNewMexico #NewMexicoFlora #NewMexico #LandOfEnchantment #PhotoByJeriRae (at Hillsboro, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIMhJOMld9B/?igshid=1tgylf2q9sreu

The view traveling down towards the Rio Grande from Emory Pass. The vegetation becomes more sparse but there the wonderful rocky cliffs running right up to the roadway more than make up for it. #Route152 #SouthernNewMexico #RockyCliff #Junipers #NewMexico #LandOfEnchantment #PhotoByJeriRae (at Gila National Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIMgzF1lFEL/?igshid=1poqwvuv7g21d

Some photos along Route 152 from Santa Clara, NM (where you leave route 180 traveling from Silver City) to Caballo, NM and I-25. The first 2 photos are of this interesting, large rock poking up from around all the green foliage. The next 2 are views of the mountains from breaks in the foliage. The remaining photos show some interesting roadside cliffs and how the ecosystem’s change as you reach lower elevations. #Route152 #NM152 #EmoryPass #SouthWesternNewMexico #NewMexico #LandOfEnchantment https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7DArulJND/?igshid=1r057dar8ishy

These are the last plants standing as we reach the desert not far from where we are on Route 152. A hillside of Yuccas, a plant that has the ability to thrive in a lot of different terrains and ecosystems. A truly remarkable species! #Yuccas #YuccaPlants #RockyDesert #Route152 #NewMexicoFlora #NewMexico #LandOfEnchantment #PhotoByJeriRae https://www.instagram.com/p/B5en8IiAGKy/?igshid=lpz8epw6hb15
