Here’s a shot of a door in the Taos Pueblo in Taos, New Mexico. The Pueblo people have continuously inhabited this beautiful site for over a thousand years. Many families live in more modern housing on the reservation for most of the year, but they have apartments in the old part of the pueblo that they use for festival days and there are some families who live there full-time. There is no electricity or running water, so they get their water from the river that flows through the village.

What a wonderful contrast in color. Seems like there could be a great story behind that door.

Southwestern colors continue to capture my fancy. .. and thanks for the pueblo tidbits as I had no idea they were still used today.

Cathy, I wonder if the residents ever say, “Ours in the house with the blue door. You can’t miss it”? I love your colors. They’re so vibrant.

Thanks, V. I know! Some of these apartments are stacked several stories high and most have blue or turquoise doors. Maybe their homeowner’s association has an architectural committee?

They would if they were in NYC!
