Taos Walkabout. 07-08-2026

Greetings from New Mexico. This week, a few shots from a Taos walkabout. I hope everyone had a good week and holiday. I watched more than my fair share of the World Cup. I did engage in a little chair yoga while watching so I didn’t feel like too much of a slug! In the last world cup our previous two dogs (labradoodles) used to get all excited when a goal was scored. These two goldendoodles we have now, couldn’t give a monkey’s uncle!

Onward…..

La Dona Luz Inn. What I first saw…

…And what I came away with on a Taos walkabout. I’m drawn to scenes that work well in black and white.

No, we didn’t pay to park, but I remember the times I did 40 years ago.

Near by in a downtown alleyway. Again, what I saw…
