My best photos

There are half a dozen photos or so I'm really proud I took. Finally (in April 2017) I've collected them all in one place. I you click the image, you might get a bigger one, and more information (or one of those):


One was a wagon that was up by itself on a hill in Shakespeare, New Mexico, when Marty and I went on a road trip to look at ghost towns in [what year? 2004, 2005?].

It was my desktop when I answered a trivia survey, and I described it as "A sheepherder's wagon, with a kitchen in back like a chuckwagon—a photo I took when Marty and I went to ghost towns in southwestern New Mexico. This wagon is in Shakespeare. Behind us were buildings."


My favoritee: Chariot of carousel at Hollycombe Steam-in-the-Country Museum and Steam Fair (they have various names; I combined them all). It's printed on canvas and in the den at my house.



Roof line and houses behind, in Stroud, June 2011:



Bird flying off a Chevron sign at sunup in Arizona the morning before Marty's wedding—printed out on a wide canvas, and in our front room. It's on my website. This was a bird messing up my photo, I thought, until I looked. I took another without the irritating bird, but of course the "mistake" turned out to be the good one. You can click it to go to a copy you can zoom in on.


Airplane over a gargoyle:


Why am I wishy-washy about finding one plae and putting them all there? It's a mystery. If I at least put them all in this blog and label them favorite photos, maybe I can find them and stop saying they're not all in one place. Wah wah wah. Found the last one; brought the others.)

I came back to add Amanda's Cat Simon, in Pilar. Click it for more context:

Unrelated to this, Holly posted on Facebook, "My mom thinks she just needs and likes pictures, but she is actually a great photographer because of it."

She was commenting on a photo of her hair.
It's here and public, if you haveFacebook

Note to my own self:
There's a post of favorite photos of Holly, July 1, 2017
and somewhere is one of layers, or stripes. If that's found, tag it and bring a link here.

I'll put one of them up in July 2017 as "Layers."

The first photo here—I should have included it up top, too! Holly, in the train, on the way to Chama.
