We went to El Paso and collected Larry on Monday morning, stopping to renew my driver's license since we were in Texas. We golfed in Las Cruces, NM, at NMSU, spent the night, golfed in Socorro, NM, NMIM,T and were rained out after 10 holes. Gene and Larry golfed in Albuquerque on Wednesday at UNM. These University courses are quite nice, lots of green and trees. All are established courses and well cared for. We walked in Socorro since the course was so wet. It is great to have our son with us on vacation. We had not spent much time together, just the three of us, since 1997 when we moved to Bastrop.
I did not sketch or think much about art the last few days. :) The photos are some of the beautiful clouds we have had this whole month, a rarity in NM. The antennas are at the Very Large Array between Magdalena and Datil, NM. An amazing site. The cow was at the Kelly San Juan Church south of Magdalena. The makeshift outhouse was creaking in the wind and the cow was nervous and curious. :)
The sketch is my breakfast today. Rice cakes with peanut butter on a plastic red plate. Hard to show colors in sketches. The ZIG pen on the Canson sketchbook. It has very nice paper and will support a light watercolor and the Sharpies don't seep through too much but do bleed a little as I mentioned before. I'm behind on the scavenger hunts, of course, but will try to catch up with the next one.

Welcome back. I love the wild flowers in the VLA photo.
If the dot from Los Angeles on your cluster map is new, you'll be happy to know that Gail found your blog. She'd been looking at my page and found the link to your blog and is now enjoying it. 'Dunno if she'll tell you for "herownself" so I'm just letting you know.
The flowers are all over New Mexico. I took a close up of those of course, I'll post it next post. :)
That is great about Gail. I'll just say hi, here, and welcome to my blog.
Thanks Joanna,
Mom
