The Mabel Dodge Luhan House

Christmas was spent in Taos, New Mexico this year. We had a truely unique experience by staying at the The Mabel Dodge Luhan House. This house is filled with the history and stories of many past and present artists and writiers that have found both beauty and their creative muse here. Click on the link above to read all about the history of this special place.  It’s a pretty humbling experience to know that you are inhabiting the same space that the likes of D.H.Lawrence, Willa Cather, and Georgia O’Keeffe.

This is called “Mabel’s Gate and is the opening onto the property.

To me beauty appears when one feels deeply.

Abandoned But Not Forgotten

The Start Of the New Year

I pass these old buildings whenever I walk down to the park.  They represent days long gone when houses were small and land was large.  The property is for sale so it won't be long before they are bulldozed down and multiple house will be crammed into the same space. What stories these walls could tell if only they had a voice.
