I spent last week in Taos at a wonderful drawing class – more on that later when I have more time to digest everything. We spent one enchanted early morning on the banks of the Rio Grande. Traversing the icy cold inlets – taking in the grand and close up views. Meandering, looking, drawing, writing haiku. A perfect summer morning. All too soon two vans pulled up and out lept kids and dogs and grandparents all looking for a cool escape from the desert heat. But for a while, the river solitude was all ours.
