The Creative Journey is a Process

A Visit to Plaza Blanca

New Mexico is a state which is full of hidden gems which you don’t read about often, but when you find them they capture your imagination just like any of the big ticket items. This weekend, I got the chance to explore one of those places in Plaza Blanca near Abiquiu.
