Those alligator juniper trees are so striking, especially when their bark is peeling away.
Kali and I climbed up to the crest of the Baylor Pass Trail from the Aguirre Springs trialhead the last time we were in New Mexico. Your images capture it perfectly, and bring back very fond memories; thank you.
(Sorry that I haven't been commenting lately, Packrat. We just got electric power again after five days in the cold.)
No problem, Scott. Commiserations. Five days without power in the cold is five days too many.
