Set dressing
Before me and Miss dog were movie extras I had no idea what actually went into making a movie. The movie we were in (we were sort of in, our scene was cut) was set in present day, so we just dressed in a tidier form of normal wear. But the movie that M’s uncle […]

Road trip
Well I had the opportunity to take a quick road trip, so of course I grabbed it. I tend to be very tense driving and after hours on the road it is hard to unclench my hands from the steering wheel. So I am always glad to tag along when someone else is doing the […]

Historic Buildings
I have friends that bemoan the demise and disappearance of lovely old buildings in their growing cities. I even do this myself. But there are also the shrinking cities, and their buildings are there to stay until they fall down of natural causes. And because they were built in the face of a hopeful future, […]

Pterror on Parade
Operating on the theory that any photo can be improved by adding a pterodactyl, I had decided that this years’ photographs of the parade should include Pteri. There is a certain sameness to every years’ parade, we can only guess at what year the pictures were taken by the changes in the hairstyles of the […]

4 Views
Well I have taken the annual visit to M’s relatives in this tiny town during the 108th festival. And because I go there on vacation, I always have a really good time, and take tons of pictures of the same views that I always take. If I actually lived there I am sure that I […]

Pterodactyl about town
What is a young pterodactyl to do when exploring a new town? Why go out and about and see the sights. Enjoying the local cuisine in a popular restaurant. Nom, nom. It’s so delicious. Or perhaps going for a bit of al fresco dining. Watch out, those chilis are hot! This antique curiosity was what […]

Training
I hate to drive long distances (over four hours away), so after I got to Santa Fe, there was the question of how to get back. I could take a plane ($$$) to Denver, and then take the shuttle home. Or I could take the train and see if I still liked it as a […]

Fall
I don’t really have anything to say about these pictures, just that Fall sometimes has glorious days of sunshine and cool weather that makes one feel glad to be alive. This butterfly was out enjoying the zinnas. The morning glories are still in bloom, I must have gotten up early by mistake. This is not […]

Parade
What is a summer celebration without a parade? (There are lots of parades in our downtown, which the local merchants hate). Here at the 107th Annual, it was a fine day for the parade, and there was a good turnout of participants. The parade always starts late because it is hard work herding […]

Updates
This is a picture of M’s uncle, probably taken by M’s grandma about 85 years ago. The other being in the photo is Lady, who was a good and faithful dog. Some of the folks in old photos are hard to identify, but we do remember our dogs. I not only got juried […]
