the night trucks
In case you find yourself in La Veta on a Tuesday night, you should know that the country club is going to be the only place for dinner. You should also know that it’s worth the 4 minute drive from town.
And I can also verify the fact that if you want to walk around downtown after that delicious dinner not only will you have made TWO good choices, but you can also see this delightful spot, right on the corner of Main Street and Ryus Avenue.

What can I say? If I’d been able to place the light exactly where I wanted it to be, it would be have been this arrangement.

There’s not much to say about this – and I can prove it by telling you that I spent a lot of minutes at my keyboard trying to write this post.
So, unless I think of something, I’ll just leave it like this. But, hey! Now you can use all those seconds you WOULD have spent reading this stuff to gaze upon the photo and come away thinking, “Wow – that’s some great time management right there!”

Movement on the top of the water kept this shot of the rock steps nicely abstract. That wasn’t necessarily the effect I was going for, but it was the one I got.
I don’t hate it.

alpacas enjoy carrots
On our last night in Tesuque, after we’d gone to see Lyle Lovett at the Santa Fe Opera, we stopped by a grocery store to get carrots. Not because we needed some vitamins or a delicious orange snack – we went because the handbook o’ instructions at our vacation rental indicated that the resident alpacas loved carrots. We’d been watching the alpacas all week and wanted to leave on good terms and all, so we fed them the carrots then got in the car and headed onward.
But not before the property manager showed us the bear tracks from the night before. (We did not provide bear snacks.)
