Continuing with my Balloon Fiesta this week I present a blue parrot against the beautiful blue NM sky for #BlueTue and #ColorADay. It also works for #AnimalArtTuesday. I think

🌎Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day 🌎

Today we honor the rich history, resilience, and culture of the First Nations and Indigenous peoples who were the original stewards of this land long before colonization.

Let’s take today to reflect, learn, and uplift Indigenous voices every day not just today. 🪶❤️

After spending 2 mornings last week at the #AlbuquerqueBalloonFiesta I will probably dedicate all of my #ColorADay to the multiple colors that were on display. Today will be #PinkMon for the pink elephant.

Golden fields of wildflowers stretch across the valley floor, leading the eye to the towering Brazos Cliffs—standing strong and timeless under the New Mexico sky. A perfect autumn scene in the Land of Enchantment. 🌄✨ Chama, NM ~ Elijah Rael
