It is so hot and muggy here that it almost feels malevolent. The city has a really bad vibe today and it STINKS. Garbage piled up early this morning, air totally not moving, everything stagnant … something is OFF. It’s also October so the mugginess and stickiness is throwing me out of equilibrium.
So. Blue skies. Desert.
Shadows. Sun.
Make Gloves! Not War! — seen in Taos, where the “wool festival” was in full woolly bloom. Wool fanatics from all over the world flock to Taos for the festival. Spoke to one little old lady for a bit (this was her car, actually). She lived in Durango, and had come in for the festival. “If you ever come to Durango, look me up. I work in the yarn shop. There are only 2 in town so it should be easy enough to find me.” I adore people like that. Who take their passions to the fullest extent.
Blue. White.
Party in Taos!!
Dappled light in Santa Fe
Old-school signage.
My first glimpse of Albuquerque, standing outside the airport.
I’m glad it’s not just me. Hopefully, there’s nothing to our feelings.
Your photos are so serene. Beautiful.
It feels now like the cold front might be moving in – which helps a little bit … at least the air is MOVING now. But this morning? And the low heavy look in the sky. Bah – totally bad vibe.
I think it might have been the weather. Everyone at work was saying the same thing. It just felt wrong. I finally turned the AC off. There’s a nice cool breeze outside. It feels right for October.
It’s raining now! Hooray!!
YES! Albuquerque! That’s where Frank and I first met… at the airport. It’s so beautiful out there!
Sarah – I looooved those posts from that time in your life. Your whole hair-trauma stress and how you KEPT SAYING “al-be-kar-KAY” or whatever – it was soooo funny!!!!
Dearest–great photos. Your mother is submitting paintings based on two of your photos [the campers on the subway, and the guys on the stoop] to an upcoming exhibit. see you soon, love, dad
Dad – I saw the one of the campers – but haven’t seen the dudes on the stoop one! Those were stagehands on a break – I love that photo too!
See you soon! I’ll DRIVE UP to Rhode Island soon to see you.
Hey Sheila,
I know this way late, but I’ve been away a while and just started looking back over your blog to see what I missed. Boy did I miss BIG! You were in Taos?? That’s right in my neighborhood (well out here in the West, anything within a 150 mile radius is our neighborhood!). I wish I’d have know; I’d have driven down and bought you guys a drink.
Anyway, I just wanted to say “hi”!
