Spring Break breakdown - 1

Beware the Ides of March...

The kids were on Spring Break from March 16-20 and joined me for a trip to New Mexico with Miss C (her son was on Spring Break also) to do some skiing and sightseeing. We hit the road on Sunday, March 15. Mom joined us, also... she and M left the day before we did.

Ready to roll: my double-cab Tacoma would be cramped quarters for two adults and two kids...


US 84 between Snyder and Post


Group benching effort: rolling by a BNSF grain load near Post

Striking a pose at the state line

last leg to Ruidoso: dropping into the Hondo Valley

Stay tuned... coming next: tire swings and snow tubing.

return from west Texas

Still working through the November backlog... today I have 5 more shots from November 13, as I worked my way back to Fort Worth from Slaton...

Santa Fe depot at Snyder

Santa Fe circle-cross emblem at Snyder

Bodine Bros Drive-In Dairy near Colorado City

7-up fading ad near downtown Colorado City

BNSF 1733 on the Texas & Oklahoma Railroad in Sweetwater

On November 17, M joined me for another short trip to Argyle to try my luck at another silhouette shot at sunset. (See January 4 entry) A southbound arrived at just the right time...

Fourth time's the charm, as well... UP southbound near Argyle at sunset on November 17.

Check back in a day or two for more...
