New Years Day - Sierra de las Uvas
New Years Day was celebrated atop a lonesome peak in the Sierra de las Uvas Range with my sister and her boyfriend visiting from the UK. Eager to show them my favorite local area we had traveled northwest to the far corner of Dona Ana County. While the wind persisted it did not keep us from reaching the peak shortly before dusk. This area is better traveled in the twilight hours as the lighting becomes something magical. For them the landscape proved surreal as we sat quiet above the valleys and plains.

Some vast, wild, and beautiful country you have down there. I like the idea you have for this blog. Please keep on with it. Never been to NM myself.. Maybe some day...
This was one of the best New Year's Days I ever had. Sitting quietly amongst the mountain tops looking at the New Mexico ocean of desert and sharp mountains. Well, I was on another planet. And that was the best part about it. When I am back in the rainy English countryside, that scene is so comforting! Thanks for that memory.
