So much going on in the world today, the news is full of war, shootings, slaps, and other violence. I can’t change all of that, but I can post what brings me peace at the end of a hard day: sunset scenes in New Mexico.

Even the husks of long-gone yucca blooms look beautiful in the right light.

As night falls, the silhouettes of those husks bring more beauty into being.

Standing tall, witnessing the end of another day, it is time to rest, and as Shakespeare said “to sleep, perchance to dream” of a better world.

Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it well and serenely.

Beautiful photos. I especially like the one with the four stalks in the foreground. Thanks for sharing.
So peaceful. Thanks!
Same! Next time, you’ll have to come east. Or south 🙂
It was a moment of zen for me to write it, calmed me down a lot.
Lovely! So glad we got to spend some time with you.
Thanks for a little bit of tranquility.
Gorgeous! Thanks for the moment of Zen.
