Another year, another Christmas Eve on Albuquerque’s Old Town Plaza — a gift that never gets old.
Wishing you and yours a happy and safe holiday season as we round out 2022.

Christmas Eve 2021
Christmas Eve luminarias in Albuquerque totally washed out due to rain in 2019, and most folks didn’t put them out in 2020, due to the pandemic. So when the forecast earlier this week was for rain and wind on Christmas Eve, I fell into a bit of a depression. Happily, the rain let up right before sunset, and the wind died down (more or less), so people put out luminarias at the last minute after all. It wasn’t quite as crowded around Old Town as it used to be pre-pandemic, but there were plenty of happy people there anyway (many of whom were wearing masks even though we were all outside).
I took lots of photos and all is right in my world again. 🙂
Old Town Capilla
I really love this little chapel in Old Town Albuquerque. I’ve seen it at many different times, in many different light conditions, but I’ve never seen it look quite like this. It seems perfect for Easter.
Lovin’ Lichen
Heart-shaped lichen for Valentine’s Day. Hope you’ll be celebrating Valentine’s Day with someone (or, as in the case of lichens, something) you love.
