There's always a bit of melancholy for us when we leave a place we love so much. That's how we felt about leaving Taos, with all its beauty. As if to give us a visual memory we wouldn't soon forget, our last evening in Taos shared a dazzling sunset. We saw how the Sangre de Christo Mountains turned deep red and in an instant as the sun dipped below a mountain, the color was gone. But not so with the breathtaking sky towards the sunset.
We packed our bags and pondered how and when we could return to this beautiful state. I thought how fortunate we were to have stumbled upon Querencia Taos - the place we stayed for the week. We could have quite happily hid out for the week in our cozy, inspiring surroundings. Quest and Shannon Couch, owners of Querencia Taos have thought of just about everything to make it your "home away from home". We'll count the days until we can return.

Gorgeous! Yes, you go the sky, but you really captured the feel of the NM earth and ground cover! Sounds like a great time.
Thank you Pam - I love the earth and plants of NM too, yes it was a wonderful time.
Celeste - love this painting!!
this is the view I saw most often while living at Querencia as the caretaker's windows faced the driveway!! I didn't know if you knew that this is the former house of Taos artist Bill Rane. Check out his website...last I knew the house is still owned by his sons. Anyway, what a great studio space he had!
Wow! What a cool thing to learn about that house. Thanks for sharing MB.
