ON THE ROAD TO GHOST RANCH


We passed Abiquiu Lake on our way to Ghost Ranch - we stopped here for lunch.

The high plateau (Cerro Pedernal) in background was one of Okeeffe's favorite subjects to paint.

Her ashes were scarried on top of the plateau and the prevailing winds carried them toward Ghost Ranch.

Part of our Lunch.

Saw this by the lake side - I called it "Hooking a rockfish".

Next time more from Ghost Ranch.

OUR TOUR OF GEORGIA O'KEEFFE's HOME AND ABIQUIU, NM.
O'keeffe's winter home sits on the edge of the small town of Abiquiu and overlooks the painted hills of Ghost Ranch, where she kept a summer home.
Here is the entrance to O'keeffe's home. We were not allowed to take pictures beyond this point, but you can still see the painted hills of Ghost Ranch in the distance.

THE TOWN OF ABIGUIU, NM.
Abiquiu town center - the movie house.

The St. Thomas Church dominates the town center.

Back on the main road we visited Bode's general store, O'keeffe's corner grocery store.(www.bodes.com/)
