And plain white hogs.

So charming Dana! Please be sure not to forget this thread when you have more photos! I live in one of the greenest pockets of New Mexico but it is also the darkest (in social climate).....it's beautiful but most here are land rich and money poor. There is nothing wrong with that of course (I prefer it actually) but then there are the drug and gang elements juxtaposed beside a long history of a beautiful self-sustaining rural community. There are multi-generational farmers and riff-raff. Sometimes they are one in the same! There are pockets of gang violence in this rural and beautiful setting. People tell me not to live there, but it's so gorgeous and rich in natural aesthetics and history. I'm not afraid to take all that good with a touch of bad....


Here..This photo is interesting. This is pretty close to my house on the side of a green country road. Kind of an example of the darkness in the beauty of this Valley that I'm talking about. Some people, depending on their beliefs I'm sure find it beautiful. I just think it's scary. My camera again- fails to capture the essence of this quite frightening *to me* piece of religious art but hopefully you can get the idea.

I would be interested in more shots of New Mexico, Cicero! :)

As would I. Looks like a fascinating place.

Yeah Cicero, I do find that quite disturbing.

It's one of those moments when you are starting to really enjoy the landscape and go to your happy place....and then...well......you see something like that.


As for New Mexico photo requests....alright guys/gals! There are many photos for the taking and sharing. Plenty to go around!

Missed ya yesterday Shawnee *btw*. Have you been neglecting the cellar or what?

lol...I've been cheating on the Cellar with my j-o-b, and some other, shall we say, diversions. :rolleyes:
But I'm paying close attention to you all, especially the sharp smart ladies like you and DanaC! You go girls! :D

On the drive home from work!

Wow. Just wow.

That's beautiful, Cicero!

Shawnee- tell fresh that this is what a reservation actually looks like.

Who? FC? Nahhhhhh. ;)

Yeah- we wouldn't want him to actually go to one. Or anywhere for that matter.......Oooh..I'm bad bad today.

You're gonna get me in trouble! And I've been so good! :lol:

Oh- yeah......"good" right.......if the old "bad" is the new "good".

;)

You know the saying: when I'm good I'm very good, when I'm bad, I'm better.
