Even in January, the ristras are still beautiful. There are numerous long ristras hanging from the lamp-posts in Old Mesilla, much to the delight of locals and tourists alike.

Time has gotten away from us, so there has been quite a gap in posting. The holidays in Las Cruces, even during COVID times, are full and busy and wonderful.
But now we are in full winter. Here, that doesn't mean the bleak misery of many other climates, or the soggy drab days of the Gulf Coast. It means crisp days and a snowfall now and then, followed by sun and gorgeous skies.
The mountains are the backdrop for Las Cruces, of course. We all look at them and love them every single day. And when they are frosted with snow, they are even more stunning than usual.
These photos were taken at Dripping Springs Recreational Area, 7.5 miles from downtown. Very popular, very lovely area with a lot of history.
