Pecan Capitol

Mesilla, New Mexico is pecan central in the state that produces more pecans than any other.  Georgia is a poor second, y'all.  This factoid would have escaped me had we not spent a couple of night in Mesilla and chanced upon this majestic stand of pecan trees.  They seem like orchards to me but apparently are called farms.

  1. I just love this image, Steve. The line of pecan trees has such symmetry and interest. A stunning shot!

  2. Thanks Daryl. The view is by no means new but seemed very French, all trimmed and finished unlike the typical scruffy New Mexico farm.
