  • Good Night and Good Luck.

    Decisions, decisions. I’ve been spending most part of my day in front of the computer, backing up files to the “cloud” and reading online the pros and cons of using Synology Photos or Nextcloud.

    Well, tomorrow is another day. Good night for now.

  • 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..

  • Walking in Silence

    We had planned to take a walk together just minutes before our minor argument started. All it took was an email from our lawyer. We walked the first half of a mile in total silence. He had to take a brief break every now and then as his legs were bothering him as usual. Sensing his distress, I put my left hand on his back, supporting him and helping him move forward with my will.

    He turned his face to look at me and said: “We can do it, if we set our minds to it. We’ve always had.”

    I responded only with a faint smile. And we continued walking.

  • Baked Eggplant

    Bear in mind that I’m no good at cooking. It was a total improvisation, but it turned out quite good. A bit salty for my taste, but my companion actually liked it after one bite.

  • 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..

  • Wonderful Little Things

    All these wonderful little things in this world, they make me full of joy. They never cease to amaze me. And they don’t exist in order to inspire me. They are simply there..

  • Where It All Began

    Today we went for a walk in the Casa Solana neighborhood. It was my companion’s idea and it wasn’t the first time we returned to that area, because this is where we jointly decided that Santa Fe would be our new hometown almost eight years ago..

  • First Sunset of May

    Today was pretty uneventful. It was overcast most of the day and we even received some moisture, which was more than necessary.

    I spent most of the day cleaning up my studio, preparing and making space for my first NAS. I came across several items that I realized it’s time to let go. They were literally collecting dust..

  • Flower of Apache Plume

    Our Apache Plume has finally bloomed. One thing I always look forward to in spring is the flowering of this specific plant. Soon the white petals will fall and it will transform into plumelike flower. That’s something beyond my imagination..
