We drove down to El Paso, TX on December 1st to visit my uncle before he deployed and help pack up all the things we were taking with us to store while he's gone.
Have you ever heard the story about how Truth Or Consequences, NM got it's name? My hubby tells me about it every time we pass through ;) It's an interesting one.
Somewhere in New Mexico (or possibly Texas) I adore road trips. There's something about the vast stretches of ever-changing landscape that fuels endless imaginings. That little cave up there on the hillside? It's shelter for an outlaw on the run. How many secrets does that river hold? That barren tree there, standing alone, perhaps contains the legacy of the first settlers of the West. These are the times I wish I was able words to paper more skillfully, so I could make these imaginings into great, sweeping stories.
Somewhere in Bailey. There is a nice fence back there, not prominent, but still sprawling along. There's just something I love about this picture beyond that, though. The coloring maybe. Anyway, I was messing around with all the settings on my cool new camera and the darkened edges one adds a neat feeling to it, I think.
