It’s a tree stump – but the underside of it? I can’t explain it but I’m totally amazed by it. Seen at Santa Fe Skies RV Park.

Our favorite State Park is designated as a Dark Sky Park by the International Dark-Sky Association. Apparently there is a rigorous application process to get this designation. As of January 2022 there are only 195 Dark Sky Places worldwide.

Cone flower is another name for Echinacea. Saw these lovely flowers at the local nursery and the sunlight made them extra brilliant.

It’s mostly a flower farm but we have seen some produce there in years past. Everything is on the honor system. They have a cash box on the wall to leave your payment.
