More Spring Scenes

I was sort-of pre-nostalgic while I waited to hear from graduate schools. There was little chance that I would get to stay in my neighborhood, in my cozy, sometimes too small apartment while in graduate school.
There are so many things that I will miss, but maybe most of all these lovely flowers.This tree (or bush?) is slightly above the sidewalk on the street that leads from the bus or to the casual carpool. The best thing about them is when the petals fall. It is a like a pink road back home.
I like to get close to the flowers, but the camera not so much...maybe someday I will figure it out


Just starting to figure out it might be spring.


I know that New Mexico will have just as much beauty...

it will just be different.

Finally back in my backyard...
my landlady does this, not me. I kill plants, but I don't mean to.These photos are from around the neighborhood some taken on 3/4/09... I more but they will have to wait for a few days. Posting photos is a royal pain, takes HOURS, ok, feels like hours.

Spring Sprung Early

Photos taken 2/9/09
I missed taking these photos last year.Even though it is not really spring, yet, the tree in my backyard has been fooled by the rain followed by brilliant sun.I am going to miss this!

Need to take the after shot and post it...soon

Not really an april fools joke...


La letra de SOLAMENTE UNA VEZ por Agustin Lara "El flaco de oro"

Solamente una vez
ame en la vida
Solamente una vez
y nada mas

Una vez nada mas en mi huerto
brillo la esperanza,
la esperanza que alumbra
el camino de mi soledad

Una vez nada mas
se entrega el alma
con la dulce y total renunciacion
y cuando ese milagro realiza
el prodigio de amarse
hay campanas de fiesta que cantan
en el corazon

Y cuando ese milagro realiza
el prodigio de amarse
hay campanas de fiesta que cantan
en el corazon
