Santa Muerta

This year’s New Mexican Santa, whom I privately think of as Santa Muerta. She’s a lovely blend of Dia de los Muertos and Christmas.

a snow geese flyover at the Ladd S. Gordon Waterfowl Area

Snow Geese Flyover

A flyover: when hundreds of snow geese all of a sudden rise up into the air and fly over you in a dense cloud.
