Veronica, official co-daughter-in-law of NewMexiKen, posted this photo on Facebook yesterday from her weekend hideaway in Colorado. She captioned it simply, “Vacation. Yay.”
Yay, indeed.

“The Crazy Train visited the Bluebird Diner across the street from my wine shop this morning. ‘Someone’ put some truth in advertising on the bus. She drove away with it still on.” Wally

This really should be last weekend’s photo. That’s when it was taken and that’s when Sweetie Sam was four months old.

Hey, you go to a restaurant in New Mexico, the chicken is FRESH.
Taken this evening in the El Pinto parking lot.

I don’t think this is the light Georgia O’Keefe and other artists had in mind when they spoke of New Mexico. This is an untouched (though slightly cropped) photo taken just before 8). I’ve never seen a sky quite like it.

These photos were taken just after 7PM this evening. The first is a view of the Sandia Mountains, looking east from Paseo del Norte and Browning. The second, the view looking to Albuquerque and this evening’s sunset from Sandia Heights, near Tramway and PdN. That’s smoke folks (and dust).

It’s really not a very good idea to get between 11-year-old Morgan and the soccer ball.
Morgan is my good friend Donna’s granddaughter. Soccer skills run in that family. Morgan’s uncle Mike is leading a New Mexico championship girls team he coaches to the Western Regionals at Boise later this summer.
[The face of the player in the background is purposefully obscured. We’re told the face of the opponent on the ground was not harmed in the taking of this photo. Her ego may have been.]

That’s the scariest Mississippi River flood photo I’ve seen. Yikes! Read more from National Geographic — Mississippi Flood Flushes Snakes, Deer Into Neighborhoods.

That’s one well-trained pooch — parachuting out of an aircraft.

First posted here three years ago (and every year since because I love it).
Buy kids all the video games and Disney princess paraphernalia in the world — or let them drop stones down a storm drain grate at the soccer field. Which to you think they’ll choose?

I know, this one is everywhere today, but it does sum it up nicely. Taken in Times Square by Michael Appleton for The New York Times.

“I think if we are going to start a war, we ought to be willing to show the consequences of that war.”
Chris Hondros took the photo below in Iraq in 2005 — “terrified and blood-spattered Iraqi children, just moments after their parents had been mistakenly shot to death by a U.S. military patrol.”

Took a little walk around the Tidal Basin today to visit Jefferson, FDR and the cherry blossoms.
That must be my ride coming to pick me up.
The Franklin Roosevelt Memorial is just west of the Tidal Basin.
Taken while waiting for the stoplight on 17th Street.

Today’s photo was actually taken Saturday as Mack, oldest of The Sweeties, neared the finish of a mile run. He took first for boys 8-13, running a difficult course in 6:58.
And while I am happy to recognize Mack’s achievement, the reason I have posted this is the sign on his left. Word of the Month: Perseverance. (Click image for larger version.)
I should say. Way to persevere, Mack.
Aidan and Kiley both persevered in the run as well; Aidan took third among runners seven and younger. Kiley was second among girls 8-10.

I’ve never had a camera with a candlelight preset before, so Nikon gets a lot of credit for this and yesterday’s photo. But my timing was good. Maybe if I practice, I can learn to take a sequence that catches the candles expiring one-by-one.
Like most photos, this shows more detail in its larger version. Just click the image.

Just fooling around with a software demo, I made this collage (in about 30 seconds) from photos taken the past few years at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. The Fiesta this year is October 1-9.

“What’s the big deal,” you say. “That’s just a photo of the sky and mountains.”
“Here’s the big deal,” I say.
“The photo was taken with my phone from the driver’s seat of my car.
“Notice anything missing?
“Like the top?
“It was down.
“Because it feels like Spring!”
