Another church in Old Santa Fe

A visit to the Loretta Chapel home of the 

Miraculous Stairway.

A lady asked if we had seen the church

with the stairway in it.

We hadn't but my interest was so piqued

after she told us about it I just had to go 

find it and get a photo of the stairway.

  The church not only had a beautiful staircase 

but beautiful art work as well.

In the shops after the church visit.

On the way back to the train depot we saw the

 dragon on the building.

Hummingbirds way up on a mountain

On the top of the Sandia mountain, East of Albuquerque,

at the shop and cafe there was a deck and hanging

on the deck was a bird feeder.

I spent several minutes photographing the birds

until the shop owner came and removed

the feeder per Forest Service request (it attracts bears)
