Golden fields of wildflowers stretch across the valley floor, leading the eye to the towering Brazos Cliffs—standing strong and timeless under the New Mexico sky. A perfect autumn scene in the Land of Enchantment. 🌄✨ Chama, NM ~ Elijah Rael

For my generation this is iconic. The red flatbed Ford on the corner in Winslow AZ. Also on Route 66. The windows on the Flatbed cafe along with red door were good for #WindowsOnWednesday. Windows on second photo mural are painted not real. #RedWed #ColorADay

Continuing with my theme of highlighting ABQ Balloon Fiesta. Here is the University of New Mexico balloon from 2 years ago. #RedWed #ColorADay

Hegseth said yesterday he wants to ban any symbols of “superficial individual expression” by people serving in the military. Of course, he was probably talking about dangerous things like rainbows.

At center bottom we see a dry wash with scattered clumps of vegetation. Rising on all sides are deeply eroded mudstone walls, some capped by ironstone boulders and forming hoodoos. The formations continue, maze-like, into the distance.

Photo taken on the beach at Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock in the background covered by early morning mist. Oregon coast is the best place to go. Lots of variety. #RockinTuesday #TidesOutTuesday #CannonBeach #OregonCoast

A spire or hoodoo of red rock at Kodachrome State Park in southern Utah. A beautiful park that sometimes gets lost among the Big 5 National Parks in the area. Worth a visit. #Stunday #KodachromeStatePark #UtahNationalParks
