After lunch a few Sunday's ago, I wandered around the Pagosa Springs town site in search of…read moresomething that was open. The Wild Spirit Gallery was an interesting option and I spend a good amount of time wandering around their spacious, handsome, and diverse offerings. That includes original paintings and etchings, bronze sculpture, jewelery, woods, and various other stuff. Store staff pretty much left me along, although I knew I could quickly count on help if I needed it. Only a few items resonated with me, and the ones that did wouldn't fit in my suitcase. But if I pass this way again, I'll make sure to stop by.

We were visiting Pagosa Springs on vacation and visiting family as well. We decided to kill time by…read morevisiting this wildlife sanctuary. Very reasonably priced and our admission gets us in and out of the park on the same day. I would recommend early morning or later afternoon when they are fed because we came a little too late in the morning and almost missed all the wildlife activity as they hunker down during the heat of the day. We did see the grizzly bear and the wolves, and for us it was worth it. We intended to come back around 2:45 for feeding and the guided tour, but we didn't make it. The staff were friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this wildlife sanctuary and support those that cannot be reintroduced to the wild for one reason or another.

Loved coming here to see all the animals! Unfortunately, the bears were hibernating already so we…read moredidn't get to see them, but we did make it for the feeding tour! It was so fun to watch the animals get excited about their lunch and hear all the interesting facts about them while we had awesome photo ops. You can tell these animals are all well loved and cared for, amazing to see!

The absolute best local art shop in town. The set up is awesome. The way the booths are designed…read morefor each person is spectacular. There is even a booth to support the local school distract to help students make a little extra money selling their artwork. The artwork is beautiful. I ended up buying three pieces and plan on buying more in the future even after I leave town. Very clean, very professional, very unique.

If you've visited an art gallery in NM you've probably been looking at a lot of landscapes and…read moredesert scenes, but modern art is alive and well in El Prado at Carol Dee's Art Gallery. Just a few doors down from the Farmhouse Cafe (see my review about them) in what must be El Prado's version of a mini mall, sits Carol Dee's gallery. A somewhat small, rectangular space brims with some of the most unique modern style art you might see in NM this side of Meow Wolf. It all starts out in front of the gallery, with the spinning metal creations made by the guy with the patent on the spinning mechanism. Once inside the gallery space, you will find a variety of mostly local artists and their unique take on modern styles and expressions. Tomas created a warm and inviting atmosphere helping me to exploring each and every piece of art, and there is a lot of work fit into this space. If you're an art lover and tired of seeing the same old NM style art, this is a must see for you. Come for lunch at the Farmhouse Cafe and stay to browse the wonderful creations inside Carol Dee's gallery. Highly recommended.

She has done four large tattoos for me and I will be getting another one soon. Between her skill and awesome creativity, I wouldn't want anyone else to tattoo me.

The portfolios at A Body of Art are full of individual, unique creations.
