Scenes of Albuquerque

Doity, filty, disgusting boids!

Auditioning for a remake of "The Birds".

Albuquerque skyline.

I'm surprised no one else thinks to take pictures of doorways. The pattern in the screen door - the circles with the lines coming out of them - you see that all over New Mexico.

Cylinders of Albuquerque.

Doorway to an elf's house?

Route 66. Neat looking car.

When I booked the rental car, I thought the rate seemed like a bargain.

I didn't draw those pictures on the wall. They were there when I got there.

What kind of person takes pictures of this nonsense?

Public art on a Las Cruces, NM, street.


Outdoor sculpture at Dripping Springs in the Organ Mountains of Dona Ana County, NM.


Outdoor sculpture in Socorro, NM. See how it has to be locked up? Sad commentary on our society's values.


Another art installation in Socorro. This one was unlocked. Go figure.

Socorro Town Square

Waiting for tumbleweeds to roll through.


Plenty of parking.


"Maybe it's the carburetor."

Sunsets over Las Cruces

Sunsets are so beautiful ...


... I wonder why ...


... no one ever thinks to take pictures of them.

Dripping Springs, Organ Mountains, New Mexico

Our Bed & Breakfast. (Just kidding!)




A serious lack of building maintenance.


Why did they go all this way up the mountain to build ruins?


Here's, the auto-focus was locked on a dark spot ...


... and here's what it looks like when you lock the focus on a bright spot ...


... and here's what happens when you fall way behind on the vacuuming.

White Sands National Monument, New Mexico

The desert tree speaks a language of its own.

Organ Mountains, Dona Ana County, New Mexico

Maybe we should've gotten that GPS device.


I wish we'd filled up at that last gas station.


Is this the middle of nowhere, or are we still on the outskirts?


We're not lost -- we're exploring.


Okay -- we're lost.


Did we pass this spot two hours ago?


So this is what's on the other side of the mountain.

The mountains turn pink ...

... for only about ten minutes ...

... at dusk.
