spring snowstorm (impression)
None of my group anticipated that we’d see a snowstorm on our trip – it was April, after all.
However: we saw the kind of snow that Texans usually just dream about – fluffy, big flakes. We walked about a quarter of a mile back to our hotel as the snow fell; we were wet and cold when we got there, but none of us minded it a bit.

so vast as to be incomprehensible
I can’t really accurately describe just how big this rock formation is, and there’s nothing there to help with any scale. Except maybe if you know those boulders in bottom center of the frame are about the size of a house, it’ll help you get the idea.
The other way, of course, is to just go there for yourself. That’s probably a more accurate way to tell, plus then you can have a nice road trip and get some photographs while you’re at it.

beyond adobe lies the white place
Perhaps I’ve mentioned this previously: I have a crush on New Mexico. There’s just nowhere else that looks…this way.
My great thanks to my great friend David Marks for spending a whole day driving me around, showing me the things I didn’t know to look for. Like this place, a melting-away adobe church with a view of the famous White Place through an opening in the wall.

passing airport time, #1
It is not even possible for me to be bored at an airport, as long as I’ve got a camera.
I passed time the other day at the Albuquerque airport testing out (or, really, playing with) a Zeiss 21mm lens that my friend David loaned to me. And this is what it saw.

it gets worse from here
Sun and wind and time have not been kind to this grave-side flag. And it is only going to get worse unless someone steps in to replace it.
