I get a wonderful serene feeling when I'm traveling through the southwest, around Santa Fe, Taos, and the sandy lands of Arizona. But at the same time I'm feeling at peace, I also feel energized by the colors and textures of the landscape. The amazing mountains in the distance, the running rivers snaking their way through the farm lands and orchards. But the best of all is when I see some horses off in the landscape, perched on a hill, or grazing in a field. I am so thrilled by the sight of the wild sprit of the west, still roaming those canyonlands. 
This scene shows a little group of houses in an orchard down in the valley by the river, friends and neighbors in the community of the west.
