I’ve been seeing this sign since I was 7 years old. 24 years later I decided to finally pull over and take a picture before someone takes it down some day

In northern New Mexico/southern Colorado, the monsoon season which normally commences in July instead started at the end of May... with the result that a normally fairly arid region has been turned very green.

“One thing I’ve learned in the woods is that there is no such thing as random. Everything is steeped in meaning, colored by relationships, one thing with another.”

“He rose and stood tottering in that cold autistic dark with his arms outheld for balance while the vestibular calculations in his skull cranked out their reckonings. An old Chronicle. To seek out the upright. No fall but preceded by a declination. He took great marching steps into the nothingness, counting them against his return. Eyes closed, arms oaring. Upright to what? Something nameless in the night, lode or matrix. To which he and the stars were common satellite. Like the great pendulum in its rotunda scribing through the long day movements of the universe of which you may say it knows nothing and yet know it must.”
— Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Crossing the Great Divide by James Belmont
Via Flickr:
Santa Fe Railway's MCPZ1 04, a 32-car auto train, pulls westward over the Continental Divide at Gonzales, New Mexico on Oct. 6, 1995. Leading the charge is SF30C No. 9513 (former ATSF U36C No. 8703), followed by SD45-2 No. 5810, and SDF40-2 No. 5253 (former AMTK SDP40F No. 630). At that time, you never knew what you might find along the Transcon.

One of our afternoon visitors while on vacation. There were 3-4 pairs of Northern Flickers that would visit the berry vines along the fence at our Airbnb in Aztec, New Mexico. I was more than happy to snap a few pics while we were there.
