    The old mill pond is only 3 miles from home. It’s roughly 5 acres and 8’ deep. Stocked with trout 2-3 times a year, the pond also contains large mouth bass and perch as well as blue gill. No gas powered boats allowed, and occasionally my peddle boat is used there.

      What's the first thing you see at the end of a ride that says, I'm almost home?

      These are the city lights from 9 mile hill as you approach Albuquerque from the West. You can see the light on the horizon for miles, but coming over that hill is quite a sight.

      I can vouch for Roger on this shot. I've seen it several times and it is amazing.

          When comming back to town from the north. Go across the draw bridge (bascule bridge, more specifically) and its grating over the river - but thats not at all picturesque.
          THen is a Y intersection and a little display in the median of the Y.
          Then just a few blocks thru town, and a couple more blocks outta town to home.



          I stopped there at that Y this morning, found a way up into there into the median, for a quick photo.


          Actaully I stopped there yeserday afternoon, too. But was harsch sun in my face and was looking at the shadow side of everything.

              Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                          This one is giving me serious trouble. 100s of photos of leaving, going and being there, but not coming home.
                          I'll figure out something lame tomorrow.

                            At first I thought the same...it's tradition the my wife takes a photo of me in the garage ready to go....then I remembered, oh yeah, I have to take the ferry to come home.

                              Me too, Bob. I could fake it. Who would know? I would.
                              OK, this’ll have to do. This is 50 ft from my front door.

                                Well if I am heading home from the north, I often stop here.
