A photo story

Heifer Basin

I pulled off at the Heifer Basin scenic overlook in New Mexico back in February 2023. Snow was still hanging on along the guardrail and the old log fence, and the canyon below was all pines with patches of white tucked into the shade. Hardly another car the whole time I stood there taking it in. It was around 61, under a cloudy sky, with a light breeze.

The overlook looks down into a wooded canyon, and that mix of snow and pine was the whole view. I stood there, took the photo, and didn't need much else.
