shady
Oh, yes – here I go again, shooting photos through dusty windows into buildings full of random discards. Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of lamps and most of them are just as nice as the ones you can see here. If you get my drift.

tulle + stilts
If you’ve ever seen me walk, you know that I not generally all that graceful or coordinated. I would have benefitted from having gone to dance lessons as a kid. Probably.
So it was with great awe that I saw a person on stilts, walking on a brick street right in front of a moving vehicle. And while all that was going on, she was smiling and waving to the crowd.

in the weeds
You probably already know that if there’s a cemetery around I will definitely go and see what I can find. And here in Chimayó, the cemetery is bordered by two streets, one cliff, and a little farmyard that had a cow and a rooster and maybe a goat or two. And this weather-worn statue was so close enough to the cow that they could have had a conversation.

window saint
This adobe house sits just across the narrow dirt street from the town’s famous church. It seems like it’s close enough to perhaps get by without a window-saint, but the residents evidently felt otherwise.

the happiest
I saw a lot of people that day that looked as though they were having the best time: in fact, nearly everyone looked that way.
But there was something about this couple dancing that kept my attention for a while. I love his smile and the way his face crinkles around his eyes – it makes me think he smiles a lot. But more than that is his very light touch on his partner’s arm. While it seems like a simple gesture, it tells their whole story.
And that’s why I think these two are the happiest people I saw that day.
