Trash, and a burro
There’s a one-block-long street in Santa Fe called Burro Alley; in the 19th century it was the place where firewood sellers would park their wood-laden donkeys. And then, apparently, the sellers would spend the money on booze and hookers.*
Now it’s just a little side street, with a burro-festooned gate and some trash containers.

*Historical note: in over seven years of blogging, this is the first time I’ve used the term “booze and hookers.” I mention it because I thought you’d want to know.
Water fountain reflections
The water fountain on the Plaza in Santa Fe had a nice reflection of the shops across the street.

Two traditions
The very formal stone marker in the foreground and the Virgin of Guadalupe in her niche behind it are a fairly accurate representation of the way cultures in New Mexico co-exist.

Leading up
This blue sky and friendly clouds were the lead up to a big storm that chased us away from the open rocks. (Come back tomorrow to see what the sky looked like as the storm approached.)
