Christmas in New Mexico
Beautiful light today as we took a Christmas day drive through pueblos just north of Santa Fe: Tesuque, Pojoaque and San Ildefonso. We stopped at the seemingly only open gas station for miles, and I snapped the empty parking lot under a luminescent sky with a new 12-24mm Nikkor G ED on my D50 (yes, […]
Merry Christmas and very Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate, and very happy holidays and best wishes to all! Linda, Julie, John and I set out on Sant Fe’s famous Farolito Walk this evening after a wonderful, festive dinner at Ristra. The walk itself is very well attended, with happy throngs mobbing Canyon Drive and environs. This cheery house […]
Christmas Eve morning dawns bright and cold
Santa Fe was bright and cold this morning as we made our way a few blocks from the hotel to the central plaza where merchants were lining up, pitching blankets and putting their wares on display. Silver, turquoise, ceramics and hand-made tiles abounded.
Sitting on a bench, I met my first two Santa Fe acquaintances, an […]
Santa Fe…
Julie and John came down from Oakland last night - the energy and laughter of a young couple brightening this house and holiday, and the four of us are off to Santa Fe shortly. Linda spotted a fox on her jog this morning - they are among the rarer sightings at Stanford, though we have […]
A visit from the ‘artiste’
Friend, Episcopal priest David Perry dropped in today. David’s down from Portland visiting family in San Francisco for the holidays: I’m sure he had a thousand things to do, but being David, he drove down and spent part of his afternoon with me. We had a great time catching up.
David is the author of the […]
The Leica bug
So, I’m not quite sure what brought this on in the middle of holidays, remodel, cancer treatments et al., but I’ve been thinking a lot about my Leicas lately (maybe the N Judah exercise?). When I still was working as a press photographer and shooting every day in the late 80s and early 90s, they […]
Gray skies, holiday cheer
The sun rose under a gloomy overcast as seen by Cassie and me on our new fave loop this AM. This neighborhood house is doing it’s best to offset the gray skies as Christmas fast approaches and other holidays are in full swing. If you’ve been keeping up with First Blush, Linda’s blog about jogging […]
A very amusing day
Cassie and I made our .8358 mile circuit this morning uneventfully, thank you, before gearing up for a big day - Cassie by heading off to her indoor bed, and I by getting on the computer to wrap stuff up before dear friend Kevin McKean, in town for the holiday break (Kevin lives in San […]
More steps, and some good news
Cassie and I made were up bright and early to make our way again around the block and even managed to stay on our feet… as we passed the scene of yesterday’s ‘crash’ we were, um, a bit embarrassed by the relatvely minor obstacle it seemed in this morning’s light.
We got going early to keep […]
2,750 first steps
Cassie and I again made our way around the neighborhood this morning at 7:00. I was feeling good and decided to push our path another block: my leg felt good, I was even concentrating on relearning the heel-and-toe motion on the left side, per Kit the physical therapist. We sailed past a bunch of construction […]
