Today... my daughter, a great friend, and I all went to the Open Space Visitor Center; located on the westside of ABQ off of Coors Blvd. It was incredible. The space was having a special event, entitled: the Return of the Sandhill Crane Celebration Weekend ... and it was all about the return of the Sandhill Cranes to New Mexico as part of their winter migration.

For tomorrow's post... I will showcase some of the featured artists at the art show there...

BUT for today... I just wanted to show some of the gorgeous scenery that is the Open Space area.

...the outlook landing area...

...and a couple of the cranes relaxing in the sunshine...
