Opening my door to this view and the fragrant morning air, I went to get my camera-phone and upon my return just moments later, a hummingbird was hovering, sipping nectar at the floral buffet. Clearly not used to a spectator, it boldly advanced toward me…the indistinct grey blur mid-frame? A Ruby-throated at 3 paces!

Welcome to Albuquerque’s Casas de Suenos, a converted 1930′s Artist Retreat-cum-Country Inn, a veritable spa (without the attitude) in the Old Town!
