Colorful Doors and Windows

  • blue door with chile ristra
  • pink and green
  • lavender window trim on Acequia Madre
  • red ristra on a blue door
  • Red, green and Christmas

The skies were overcast all day — promising rain but never quite letting go of more than sprinkles. Late-afternoon blustery winds teased and then disappeared again up the canyon.

It must have been the unusual flatness of the light, but I noticed the spots of color all along my route today. It sent me down a rabbit hole — searching out pictures of some of my favorite doors and windows.

Who’s afraid of color in Santa Fe?
