New Mexico

“Cured Earth (Adobe)”

This excellent short video is number nine in the New Mexico True Stories series, which I only learned about ten minutes ago. (There’s some nice organ music background audio in the first video that opens at that link.) The video above is self-explanatory and appears to have been shot entirely in northern New Mexico.

Witnessing New Mexico

old Ford F-150 in the snow

Tropical compared to today

The image is only two days old. Last night it snowed twice that much, well over half a foot on the lee side of the rocky hill we call a driveway. Today was mostly sunny and cold, really cold, in the teens until almost noon. (It’s 12 °F as I write, an hour before midnight.) [...]

There’s snow on the ground outside and more falling as I write this at 10:30 p.m. Monday. I was feeling pretty good about [...]

Afternoon on the Rio Grande

Rio Grande near Pilar, NM
