Bus Shelter Tree
I didn’t intend for this to turn into a series showing how spring appeared in New Mexico, but that’s what happened.
First, there was this image, which I made on March 22 in Santa Fe, of a tree without any new leaves. Then there’s this shot, from March 24, showing trees just about to burst into full bloom.
And now, today, is a photo that I made in March 26, at a bus shelter in Albuquerque. One tree is newly leafed, and the other one is exuberantly clad in white blossoms.
These are nice lessons to remember now that winter has arrived: there’s hope.

The Silent Waiting
Sometimes when I look through dusty windows into vacated spaces, it looks like things were left behind. And usually, it looks like the tenants left in a bit of a hurry and maybe left some things that they’ll want later.
There’s something about this scene, though, that makes me feel like the items in the room were just moved in, and are waiting silently for the rest of the stuff to catch up.
