Abiquiu Lake Views

One of the things that we love about camping at the national recreation area in Abiquiu is the views.  Just taking a walk, during the day or at sunset, can be amazing!

Abiquiu Lake Sunset

One of our first nights here, we had this great sunset.  It had showered a bit during the afternoon, and that’s what gave the sky some clouds to add depth to the sunset.

Evening Rays

We don’t get to see sunsets with rays a lot – beautiful colors, yes, but at home it’s more about the colors and less about the rays.  It’s nice to see the rays here!

Moon Rising

As we walked the loop at the campground, and turned away from the sunset, we saw the almost full moon rising.  The touches of sunset colors adds just the right touch!

Abiquiu Lake View

This spot is Miki’s swim spot, and the spot from which we launched our kayak.  What a great scenic spot for a pup swim!  (And a nice kayak ride)

Open View at Abiquiu Lake

Love the big skies here in New Mexico!  Actually, most places in the West and Southwest have wonderfully big skies……unless you’re in the city, I suppose.  But, clearly, that’s not where we were!

Tree Silhouette at Abiquiu Lake

I was trying to find something to sort of spice up a softer sunset sky when I noticed this great tree.  Its silhouette adds some nice detail and texture to the image.

Sunset at Abiquiu Lake

One final sunset from our trip.  This one had plenty of clouds for nice colors and details in the sky.  Can you see a bit of evening mist at the bottom of the mountains in the distance?  Nice touch by Nature.

Enjoy!
