2016 Corrales 4th of July Parade
This little dog at the top of our road was barking at me and spinning in circles when I passed by on my way to the Corrales 4th of July Parade. Photos of the parade can be seen at http://photos.tandlphotos.com/blog/2016/7/2016-corrales-4th-of-july-parade

Did Walter White Eat Here?
I heard the Dog House was in “Breaking Bad”, but I have never seen the show. I drive by the Dog House quite often, but I have never eaten there. So while I’ve seen the Dog House, I’ve never been there, and while the Dog House is in “Breaking Bad”, I’ve never seen it.
The Dog Pedaler
A guy pedaling along on his low-rider bike, his dog in tow, on old Route 66 in downtown Albuquerque.
Birds over Downtown
Those specs that look like I could have a very dirty sensor are actually birds flying over downtown Albuquerque with the sunset lighting up the Manzanos in the background.
Blacksmith World Championships
Who would ever think the we would have the World Blacksmith Championships right here in New Mexico, just outside the Duke City? Susan, Lois and I checked out the 4th Annual Blacksmith Worlds at the Wildlife West Nature Park and Rescued Wildlife Zoo east of Albuquerque, and had a wonderful time watching the blacksmiths compete in making horseshoes and hammering them onto horses hooves. Each team had one hour to make one shoe and get it on the horse. Then the next competition would begin until all the horses had new shoes and all four hooves.
Cuatro Gotas
We got a lot of wind and dust on Monday, and sporadic rain, wind, snow, and hail yesterday, making the light really strange at sunrise and sunset. I think some places in the metro area might of got measurable precipitation, but it didn’t register on our rain gage. “¡Cuatro gotas!” (not much rain) as the Spaniards would say — just enough to leave muddy rain drops all over our cars.
Downtown Drive-by
A costumed crowd was gathered outside the Kimo Theater. I wanted to park and get photos but there were no parking spots available, so I swung around the block and did a drive-by photo at about 10 mph. The sunset was beautiful, but my best opportunity of getting a photo of it was a drive-by at 80 mph on I-40.
