Another Santa Fe Day

 Yesterday we spent another beautiful day walking around Santa Fe.  There were two places here where we spent very memorable time.

One was the Georgia O’Keefe Museum.  After her husband, Alfred Stieglitz died, she made New Mexico her permanent home and spent the rest of her life here dying when she was nearly ninety-nine.  The museum here has an abundance of her work beginning when she was a teenage art student through her final Southwestern themed work that grew from her life here.  

Both Trish and I agreed that we like the bold colors of her earlier work more than the almost faded pastels of her later work.

We also had a second visit to the Cathedral of Saint Francis which is located just diagonally across from our hotel.  Besides being quite beautiful the Cathedral is one of the anchor settings of Willa Cather’s Death Comes For The Archbishop, perhaps my favorite of all Cather’s books.  It is the kind of place that is food for the imagination.

We have one more day here and we shall spend it on a little trip outside of town.
