Camera in the Bag

I thought I'd get ready for this year's wildflower season by posting pictures of last year's amazing wildflowers, especially the bluebonnets! Because of all of the rain last year, everything was so amazing; this year, though, there hasn't been much rain yet...

I visited northern New Mexico (Santa Fe area) for my Spring Break this year, to visit St. John's College, a small liberal arts school in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. I sat in on several classes, and toured the beautiful campus.

My family also visited Pecos, New Mexico, site of Pecos NHP, home of the ruins of the Pecos pueblo, and the ancient Spanish mission church that served it; for the longest time the Pecos Pueblo was one of the largest in New Mexico, with a population numbering several thousand, but after the Pueblo Revolt against the Spaniards in the late 1600s, the pueblo suffered many attacks, and was eventually abandoned.

Regency, Texas, a spot in the road kind-of-place. Back on dirt county roads in the middle of Mills County, seemingly hundreds of miles from nowhere, and do I mean nowhere! But it's also the site of the last active road suspension bridge in Texas, the Regency Bridge, spanning the Colorado River.
