The "River"

So much for all that running water -- here's the same spot, a mere 24 hours later.

Running Water!

The most incredible thing: I went to Elena Gallegos Picnic Area yesterday and could hear rushing water from the parking lot. I walked down to Pino Arroyo and it was a veritable river! (The coyotes must really be liking all the moisture too; they were yipping last night for all they were worth.)

Wooden Indians

Porch of a store in Madrid. Is the store real? or part of the movie set? or both? In any case, I'm partial to wooden Indians (I think it's all Marty Robbins' fault).

Hoary Comma

I believe this butterfly is a hoary comma.

Golden Graveyard

The graveyard and church in Golden, NM.

Madrid Blankets

Mexican blanket display in Madrid. I think this may actually be part of the set of Wild Hogs... but it's kinda hard to tell, since the entire town appears to be a movie set, and vice versa, right now.

Sunday in Madrid

Sunday morning coffee in Madrid. All of Madrid is a giant movie set these days (Wild Hogs, with John Travolta), but I think this particular scene was real.
