Hearts and Bones

My wife Abby and I have just returned from a Santa Fe getaway. I don’t want to give too much away, except to say that we had a great time. The trip report is here (link).

As we traveled, I was reminded of Paul Simon’s Hearts and Bones…

“…Traveling together
In he Sangre de Christo
The Blood of Christ Mountains
Of New Mexico
On the next leg of a journey
They started a long time ago
The arc of a love affair
Rainbows in the high desert air
Mountain passes slipping into stone
Hearts and bones…” ~Paul Simon

Despite rain still falling on us, I got out of the truck to photograph this amazing double rainbow on Interstate 40 in eastern New Mexico. It was just the start of a great week on the road.
