Church at Las Golondrinas

One of the first buildings you come across at Ranchos de las Golondrinas is the church. The church is the north building of a hacienda that has a central plaza with a well in the center and hornos for baking. Note the church has a pitched, tin roof, but the other buildings have flat roofs. The church originally had a flat roof as well, and the tin roof would have been added after 1850 when New Mexico became a US territory which opened up trade and goods to come in from the Eastern US. The ceiling of the church still has the horizontal vigas (timbers) that supported the original flat, dirt roof.

The interior of the church has simple benches for pews, an artisan crafted retablo at the altar, and hand carved Stations of the Cross (the Stations of the Cross are a modern addition, according to a docent).

Las Golondrinas

Las Golondrinas is a living museum on a 200 acre site a few miles south of Santa Fe. They are having their annual harvest festival this weekend and all the sites and industries, set mostly around the early to mid 19th Century, are operating. We spent most of the day there yesterday, and I have a lot of photos to process, so for today, I have a few abstractly representative photos.

October = Birthdays

October is the birthday month for our family starting with Laurie’s mom, Laurie, Tristan, my mom, and finally me. Susan and I share the same birth date, and one of my best friends I grew up with was born 4 days after me. Laurie’s birthday was yesterday, and I made her a chocolate cake. She got a cute pair of purple suede shoes and a new set of watercolor brushes.

Psycho Kitty

I was taking a shower, when I suddenly felt something grabbing my leg through the shower curtain. I had thoughts of Alfred Hitchcock’s movie “Psycho” when a psycho kitty suddenly burst into the shower.

But the bigger question is, why did I have a camera in the shower? Well, let me tell you, there are certain things you always need to have in the shower or bath with you — you never know when you will have to shoot — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvSZ_HQmZgQ!

Waiting on a Waffle/Breakfast with Guildenstern

I had to get out my 17mm, super-wideangle lens to get a photo of Beaker impatiently waiting for the waffle that’s in the toaster oven. You can see the tips of his wings are a little blurry because he is fluttering them in anticipation. Guildenstern got up on the table, flopped himself down and waited to see what Laurie was having for breakfast. He wasn’t too sure about either the granola or the coffee.
