constrained view
For a long time I didn’t know there was anything in particular to see in Cerillos. (Also: how fun to get to hear “see in Cerillos” in my head!) I guess I wasn’t the only one who had that opinion, because if you go all the way to the end of Waldo Street – past the trading post AND the petting zoo – you can find these devices which helpfully point your gaze in all five important directions. (Note, however, that the one on the left doesn’t give you the promised view of Pyramid Peak but rather offers a view of the trees that were a lot shorter with the thing was placed. Presumably.)

i have no place left to hide
Seriously, it’s really kind of hard to take a photo that’s not interesting when your travel/photography day includes Northern New Mexico.
I’m not bragging on my mad photography skills at all: it’s not me, but the place. It’s like Photo Magic™.

dance party
How much fun were these dancers having?
They were having all the fun possible to have.

bone density
My traveling companion: Look! There’s some kind of a carcass down there!”
Me (as I execute a pair of u-turns): Can we get down to it?
***
Anyway, as you can see, we DID get down to it. And made photos, of course.
It was an elk skeleton. Unless it was a pterodactyl. There’s no way to tell: we’re not paleontologists or whatever. (My spouse, who is also not a paleontologist*, was kind enough to explain all the ways this WASN’T a pterodactyl…)

*He’s a Pilates instructor, which is very similar to being a paleontologist because both fields involve bones. Or something.
javier y la virgen
At one of the shrines at the sacred place, I saw a pair of tiny socks hanging with a rosary, a cord bracelet, a safety pin, and a medallion that says “Italy.” And sorrow – there seems to be a lot of sorrow there, too.
