Window/Shadow
If it’s a a long weekend, it’s a pretty sure bet that I am ready to go somewhere. The Patient Spouse is not so much a fan of this habit, so we carefully negotiated a short trip over Memorial Day weekend. We went first to Clovis, New Mexico.
It had been raining all week in Lubbock – and in fact the day we left, there was a heavy rain and streets near our neighborhood were flooded. The clouds were starting to get to me, more than I had realized, because as soon as we got past them and were in sun, my mood lifted.
So, in honor of feeling better in the sunlight, here’s a lovely shadow of an open window on a metal wall.

Dazzled by the Visions
A leaf-embellished metal grate guards some statues, photos of people for whom prayers have been requested, and one man.

Andy’s fiesta
Even though Andy’s claims to have just about anything you could need (Cocktails! Curios! Restaurant! Meeting Rooms! Drive-up Window!), I think the availability of all of those things is exaggerated. Which is, of course, my favorite thing about it.

Start of the spring thaw
We were there during that time of year when spring and winter overlap – new snow was falling in the mountains but melting at the lower elevations, already causing the streams to run with clear, cold water.

Prairie Window
This old church is the main – some would say only – landmark in Taiban, New Mexico. It’s on the route between home and Albuquerque or Santa Fe, and I stop in nearly every time I’m through town. Last spring, the glassless windows were nice frames for a view of the prairie east of town.
