  • Good Night from Santa Fe

    Another day is nearly over. Another journey awaits. Good night, Santa Fe.

  • Calmness After the Rain

    We received some rain this afternoon, which was helpful but far from enough. However the colors of the sky were serenely beautiful..

  • Clouds on My Mind

    I know, I know, I know… It doesn’t get easier if I keep waiting for the right moment. It was my idea to move here from New York. And It was a decision that stunned most of our friends. What happened last year changed something. On top of that, this country is on an uncertain path and the future looks grim as far as we can see.. I’m torn.. and something is got to happen..

  • Change is Going to Come..

    Today’s June 2nd, 2026. The forecast says that the weather would change later today. Guess they got it right this time..

  • A Bumpy Start

    Our flight to Costa Rica today was actually pretty smooth. But the journey got off to a bumpy start right at the Sunport Airport. I admit that I was in a grumpy mood to begin with. (For reasons I’d rather not to tell..) During the flight for who-knows-what reason my pre-ordered meal was incorrect and ended up having something I didn’t care to eat. Then when we arrived at the Juan Santamaría International Airport, the driver for our prepaid car service to the hotel was nowhere to be found. After waiting for almost an hour, we had no choice but to take a taxi..

    It’s almost 11pm here now and all I want to do is sleep. It will all be better tomorrow. I hope..

  • Easy Afternoon at Home

    This afternoon I finally set up the umbrella for the porch. It has been sitting in the garage for years. The wind in Eldorado can be really strong, and I’m reluctant to use it because of that. Now it’s been installed, we still have to keep an eye on it the whole time.

    I did spend an hour on the porch reading afterwards. I haven’t felt this content living here since a while..

  • Dark Clouds Passing

    When we drove home from downtown, the sky started to change. Just when I was about to close the garage door, it got windy suddenly and tumbleweeds were rolling in frightening speed. I looked up at the sky, a patch of dark cloud was hanging over our neighborhood. I half expected that the weather was going to get worse. But an hour or so later, the sun was shining again.

    It’s a reminder that sometimes dark clouds are just dark clouds; no rain was guaranteed..

  • Before the Night Falls

    Driving back home from Harry’s Roadhouse, the colors of the sky were dreamy. I had to stop the car and captured the moment..

  • Work in Progress

    Our gardeners made these two tipis with the leftover latillas a few years ago. I started to paint them last year before the winter started. My plan was to paint them in either white or blue. Today while I was picking up tumbleweeds, I looked at these two tipis and thought that I ought to finish them. Another work in progress. It seems everything is a work in progress since we moved here..

  • Before the Rain Falls

    A few hours after I captured this image, it started to rain.

    I’m glad that I did some garden work this afternoon. Our yard is scattered with countless tumbleweeds and these days I’ve been trying to collect and dump them at the community center where they currently have a dumpster specifically for garden waste. The dumpster is often full to the brim and we are not allowed to leave the stuff on the ground. It’s always a gamble carrying our garden waste there. It has happened several times that we had to take it back home because the dumpster was already overloaded..
