Mari and I picked up a nice 6ft tall Noble fir tree today. I think this is the first tree we’ve bought since living together that wouldn’t fit on a table. We were pretty excited to start decorating; even the cat got in on the fun.

October in New Mexico – Pajarito Mountain
How cool is it have a ski hill 5 minutes from town? Before the snow comes, however, we get a wonderful display of colors from the trees on the hill.
Along with the trees, there are still wildflowers blooming above 7200 feet. 
A wooden shack along one of the ski runs, nestled in the trees. 
Alpine trees provide the most color along the slopes.

Getting back to my roots
I used to post pics of flowers and plants on a different site. I’m starting it up again here at thebrownman.com where the pics will be larger and a little easier to upload because of the WordPress (see below for why it was such a pain to post to the old blog).
With the old blog, the pictures I took were uploaded to Flickr because Typepad has a really f’ed up way of storing uploads in badly nested folders. WordPress has a media library that gives you a great front end to manage your media. Dealing with Flickr also had problems because I was always having to copy and paste the Flickr url for EACH pic. It was exhausting. WordPress really is a better choice for blogging.
