CLOUD OVER 3 HEARTS RANCH
New Mexico
My friend in Capitan owns a horse ranch out in the high desert. She's offered me a little piece of it that she doesn't use, up on top of the ridge. I claimed it, and named it 3 Hearts Ranch. She took me on a buggy ride into town on a summer afternoon, and on returning, this most wonderful, playful cloud was cavorting over my special hill. I shot the image on the fly as the horses clip-clopped down the dirt road towards my little piece of heaven. Clouds and sky are wonderful in New Mexico, as in most of the West, but this one was extra special.
