Pregnant Elephant at the Albuquerque Zoo

Local residents are thrilled to learn we have a pregnant elephant at the Albuquerque Zoo! Albuquerque’s Biopark announced that Rozie, a 19- year old Asian elephant is 3 months pregnant. Rozie was successfully artificially inseminated with the help of dad, Samson. Albuquerque is one of the very few zoo’s to successfully preform an in-house artificial insemination. So it’s no wonder we’re excited to have a pregnant elephant at the Albuquerque Zoo!

Rozie has a two year old calf named Daizy. Daizy is doing great, weighing around 3,000 pounds and adding around 2 pounds a day. Daizy will make a wonderful big sister! Elephants carry a calf for 22 months meaning we’ll be watching Rozie the Pregnant Elephant at the Albuquerque Zoo until November 2013 when she's due for delivery!

Being behind the camera whether it is a smart phone, iPad or digital camera is often where I begin my day. My daylight savings time day began with another opportunity to see a new Santa Fe snow painting. Lately, our winter has been arriving in the dark and leaving us with snow painting surprises in the morning. This tree caught me eye because of the happy tweeting bird sounds from within her snow covered branches. And of course, the moment before I clicked the shutter, they flew off leaving this glorious snow painted pinon (the name for our Santa Fe pine trees) behind. After all some birds are shy!

Santa Fe is in the high desert of the southwest. This means we live at 7500 feet and are blessed with four seasons. Like the landscape, we are learn to adapt just to be in the truly magical place.

If you are planning a visit or want information about our local market, do not hesitate to contact either myself at 505-660-4541 or my team partner, Ulla Allyn at 505-470-2381. We are here to make a difference in not only how you see Santa Fe but in your real estate experience.

I Think Snow Paints When She Falls... In Santa Fe

I think snow paints when she falls. Which is why I love Santa Fe's seasons. It is March in Santa Fe and winter decided to pay us a visit in the night like a gypsy.By dark, it looked like a mini-blizzard with all kinds of warnings about winter. Now, winter has come to Santa Fe for centuries and frankly I fail to understand why anyone has to be warned. It is as if snow is an enemy or something. For our community, snow is a blessing because it is water. At the same time, when daylight arrives and the snow has settled, the landscape in my Northside Vista Encandata neighborhood is transformed into another one-of-a-kind moment. I made this image around 8:30 this morning facing east looking towards the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. It was still snowing in the mountains when I clicked the shutter as the Santa Fe Ski Basin was completely invisible.

Now, I’m warning you. Santa Fe can become addictive! If you love the beautiful way mother nature delivers winter in Santa Fe, then just imagine what happens when she delivers spring, summer and fall. This is why I relocated here from Washington DC nearly 20 years ago. The landscape changes into another beautiful surprise every day.

Give me a call if you want to see how you can be here too. Our home and land prices are the lowest in years and mortgage interest rates are no where near the high of 15.75 percent like they were 30 years ago.
