I swear these are the last photos of my recent trip to New Mexico to see my younger daughter start nursing college… almost…

I don’t mean that she almost started nursing college. She did do that.

I mean I still have a few photos to do funny stuff with. I will try to wait a while. We rented an interesting little house for the week.

It had charm… and a hot tub.

My daughters, the future nurse and the alcoholic. Just kidding, Jessica.

Jessica had a birthday while we were there. We decorated cookies and rice crispy treats.

Mollie’s boyfriend made one that was supposed to look like Jessica.

She loved it. The resemblance is uncanny.

Fun and tasty.

Oh, America.

You are so silly.

And I will wrap this up with some more photos of those bizarre holes in the sandstone formations at that rest area in Arizona.

Horses…

Okay, fine, I am still posting the last photos of my recent trip to New Mexico to see my daughter Mollie start nursing college. But this day was the best day of the trip. Mollie, her boyfriend Ben, and I, on horses, beside the Rio Grande.

Mollie now shares my intense love of horses.

She is also mastering the difficult ‘horseback photography’.

Ranch dogs!

Seriously, ranch dogs!

I have already mastered horseback photography.

The Rio Grande.

To be honest, the Rio Grande is a Rio that is not so Grande, when the water is all locked up in snow in the mountains.

But it is Grande enough to drown a tumbleweed.

Ben.

Ben and Mollie.

Awww.

That picture needs more me in it.

Oh, who am I kidding… it needs all me in it!

I don’t blame you for being thirsty after lugging my ass around the high desert.

Clearin’ off those phone philes…

Make of it what you will.

They threw away super excited guy!

Sunset for the extra point.

See, it’s funny now, when it isn’t Christmas and it is over 80 degrees in San Diego.

You better be yawning.

Super excited to have finally planted wildflowers in my multi-level planter.

In fact, I might have been too excited.

I got a little carried away with the seeds. It is a jungle out there.

What a long, strange trip it’s been… part 6… (or); Snow and sand and whatnot…

Animal tracks in the snow. I think that is a bunny.

Bird tracks in the sand. Is it just me, or does that middle one look like it is raised out of the sand instead of sunk into it???

I guess that was a bird?

I know that was a bird.

And that was obviously a bird.

And I am 100% sure that is a bird because I flipped it. Yes, I gave the finger and then stuck my hand in the snow. I just wanted to make sure you were paying attention.

Water working on sandstone over a very long time.

That looks like it was caused by dripping water, but there was nothing above that.

It looks like it was formed by waves.

I really don’t get how hollows form underneath like that, but I guess the sandstone was softer there, and wind helped the water?

That must be it.

A slightly darker strata of rock at a weird angle.

But life happens, even in the harshest desert.

It somehow holds on.

Through the heat and the cold.
