Adobe Sculpture

Another garden on the Corrales Garden Tour had adobe sculpture in various states of dissolution. Adobe sculpture is a little like longer lasting sand paintings, but instead of erasing them at sundown, the adobe sculptures slowly erode back into the earth.

Off The Grid

SandiasLookingWest

From Thursday afternoon until Saturday afternoon we have been on the east side of the Sandias at Desert Harbor Retreat, completely off the grid with no cell phone coverage or Internet. I have a lot of photos to process of landscapes, plants, flowers, insects, lizards and a large snake we encountered during our two night, day and a half stay at Desert Harbor. Today’s photo is a panorama of the storm clouds over the east side of the Sandias on Thursday evening.

Dump Day Drive By’s

I took a load of junk to the dump this morning and got drive by’s on the way home. The second photo is seagulls foraging through the trash after a bulldozer mixed it up. I couldn’t get close enough to get really clear shots of the seagulls, but they really are seagulls in the high desert, not just trash blowing around.
