Illuminations
Remember yesterday, when I posted my first-ever photo of Moriarty, New Mexico?
Here’s what I saw in the (gigantic) parking lot of a fireworks stand. See how those flags and banners are held by the wind? And see the puddles in the parking lot? That, plus the fact that I had an absolutely inappropriate coat will explain why I didn’t stay very long in Moriarty. But at least I got off the highway, finally, and looked around.

(rest)room with a view
…and since the men’s latrine wasn’t locked, I was able to see this restroom-based view of the church. It’s become one of my favorite images from my day of touring painted churches.

Cyril and Methodius – brother saints
My last stop on the one-day tour of painted churches took me to Saints Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Dubina. I’d never heard of these saints at all until the end of November, when a rambling drive led us to this cemetery near Buckholts, Texas. (Dubina and Buckholts are a hundred miles apart – by Texas standards that makes them “close together.”)
But, anyway, here’s a view of the back of the church looking across to the adjacent cemetery.

PS – In the next couple of weeks, I’ll be visiting another Cyril-and-Methodius church! Suddenly those guys are just everywhere.
