As I look out the window this morning, the sky is clear blue and the heavy rain overnight has cleared the air.

My friend Lisa and I are in Santa Fe, New Mexico for a rare 3 days of R&R. Its impossible not to be influenced by the color and ambience of this town. Its hot and almost mid summer, and I’m reminded that this time next week, it will be a little grey and very cold in my home town of Aldgate.

For the past 10 days I had no opportunity to sit at the computer and write a blog. If the internet is slow its difficult to import my images into the blog format. I hope to do it justice in the next few days.
