you must travel on alone
I’ve mentioned before the challenge in traveling to a well-photographed place like Santa Fe is finding something different to photograph. I used the well-proven tricks of looking down alleys and between houses and there it was: a bicycle that seemed to be waiting out the winter.
Today’s Bruce Cockburn is an old one,“Man of a Thousand Faces,” which was released in 1970. (I first typed that as 1790 – which is just slightly incorrect…)

and like ghosts, they’re gone
On the far side of a tiny town, if you take the road that looks like it doesn’t go anywhere, you’ll pass by a little church.
The morning sun caught the squares of the window screen’s mesh in a way that obscured the flowers, making them seem momentary, like if I looked again, they’d be gone.
And here’s the daily Bruce Cockburn, with “Use Me While You Can,” of his spoken word pieces that is just outstanding.

Art Place
Here’s a broader view of an earlier post. The illustration of the church is quite nice, particularly because that exact view isn’t possible in real life, as the church is hemmed in with a river, some mountains, a highway, and parking lots. I guess this is a God’s eye view?

More on the way
This is what we saw on the way to see this church: last week’s snowfall and clouds bringing the next round piling up on the mountains.

So much in so little
We were in a bakery, because it’s so important to support local businesses as much as possible. And also, cookies were involved.
Anyway, I looked out the window and spotted this wall on the building next door. Suddenly cookies didn’t seem that important.
For just a short stretch of wall, this one has a lot going on. In a good way.
