Box Canyon area was the sight of many Native American and military battles.Fort Davis was built near to protect the travelers on the way to the new land.!!
This was an important fight as Van Horn Wells was the only watering hole for miles.

Gone Fishin’

Gone fishin’ at Jal City Park, New Mexico. While I was photographing a car show on a Memorial Day weekend..I spotted this lovely scene. The gentleman pictured had his wheelchair decorated with American Flags.A veteran enjoying the day! When I returned to speak with him …he was nowhere to be found… This photo has always haunted me..the stories he could have told me! I am making a trip back to Jal this spring…I need to know this wonderful man..

Thanks for stopping!

My photo collection.

The Tangled View.

image

Sometimes our memories or our view of the world or of people in our lives can get all tangled up in a big mess…kinda like my photograph above. A person can just stand there in the same spot and always have the same view…..or …..chop down that tree…or simply give a little and move themselves over to one side of the tree…or the other.But, maybe, one could step back ..far enough to get a good clear look at the tree and all the surroundings and the beauty that nature has blessed us with… S’more photos :-)). Thanks for stopping! This post in Memory of Francis Johnson, my step- dad. March 12 1932 /March 23 2014. RIP
