One Hunt Sketch and Photos

I sketched one item for Scavenger Hunt 367.  http://goo.gl/fLGNIH   This is number 12, wow!  A few more sketches than last Hunt - zero.  I have been sketching on the Hunts since number 2 or 3 in 2006.  This one is in my travel sketchbook with the Micron 05 pen.  I spent 5 - 10 minutes on it probably.

Number 12, sweet - Gene's honey.  The bear looks happier in real life.

We ate at the only New Mexican restaurant in Angel Fire last night.  It is Hatcha's.  They do have posole and menudo so more New Mexican than most. I would give it a 5 on a 1 - 10 scale.  I ordered beef tacos with blue corn tortillas and they made chicken.  I don't like to send food back so picked at it a bit.  My side was posole so that filled me up anyway.  I had a margarita which came in a water glass. (More exercise today!)   Gene had enchiladas and they looked good.  The flour tortillas were nice.  They have grilled avacado with salsa for an appetizer.  I may try that for my meal next time we go.  Nice waitress, Adelita.

We were amused as we went in at the "Watch for Ice, may be slippery" and Gene commented to Adelita that it was a good thing for the sign as he almost slipped.  As we left Gene noticed this sign above his head on the right of the steps.

That was a bit unusual, don't you think?

So here is the other side....

Another weird sign for Joanna!

And sunset on the way back to the house.  The fence on the right is along the golf course.  Nice evening.

I forgot to mention that our photographer son, Larry, took some fabulous photos on our trip to the family reunion in Rodeo, New Mexico.  He has a few posted on his website.  The first 15 in landscapes are from Enchanted Rock in Texas and White Sands in New Mexico.  Super nice and for sale.  :)

Larry has some great photos!

I can just hear Gene teasing the waitress over the "ice"sign.

So sorry about the chicken! I like the honey bottle sketch even if he doesn't look terribly happy. :-)

Bag Blog, Larry does take great photos. He planned to take aerial ones, but his drone camera had a hard landing. :(
Gene does like to have fun with the servers.

Joanna, it is so interesting in drawings how one little line can make a difference. Well, in the bear it is the mouth and he eyes.
