Vacation 2011

I have been in Santa Fe for exactly one week.

This is a close up of a giant bronze moose sculpture entitled, "Shoshoni Monarch" by Rebecca Tobey. I love her work. She shows at Vantana Gallery on Canyon Road.

It has been the most beautiful weather. Right away, I connected with a local Early Music soloist, quite by accident, at the seafood counter at the downtown Whole Foods. We were both eyeing the extra large shrimp and I made the obligatory "oxymoron" comment. Andre', a tenor soloist who has sung with The Santa Fe Desert Chorale (as well as many others), studied in Austria and his mother tutors people in German. He totally delightful.

I have been taking it easy and doing my best to simply relax.

I only just realised last night that I could have been blogging about my adventure: the lovely blue skies, the surprise snow and freezing temperatures on Thursday, the fantastic art. So I decided to get cracking!
