This is from yet another gravel road from our recent Colorado trip. The road’s condition, the scenery, the foliage, the sign all seemed sort of timeless.

My Patient Spouse will back me up on this: I am a TERRIBLE passenger on road trips.

I get bored pretty fast. And when I get bored….well, you don’t need to know really a lot of details about that. Other than one of the things I do is take random photos out the window.

As it turned out, the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History had an exhibit on this cemetery, so naturally our first stop after the museum was…well, you know.

The cemetery’s split down the middle; the newer side held little interest as it was green and manicured and tidy. It was this side, the older side, that I liked. Right away I saw how the old tree trunk, the concrete curbs, the markers, even the dry ground were all taking on the same color and texture. Dirt to dirt, I guess.
