Second 10 minutes walking in Santa Fe

 Next to the Basilica, there was a small park, with this brilliant tree! Yay, fall is coming!

 The Arias de Quiros site...

 Beautiful basket-work

It was too early for most shops to be open as I strolled toward the Plaza.

 And there they were, some Native Americans just setting out their wares...most to sit with them on the ground all day.

They were beautiful, but I know Kendra (daughter-in-law) wants to shop here tomorrow, so I won't seriously shop now...not to mention, most of the sales people weren't ready anyway.

 I got a kick out of these little clay pieces.

 And then I crossed the street into the plaza, where there's a bandstand!

I'll have to share this portion tomorrow.

Today's quote:

Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts.
