PHOTODORK

I feel like a special correspondent.  Of course, you guys have no idea where I post from, so it really makes no difference that I’m in a whole different state, but it feels like I’ve pretty much hit the big-time right now as I post from a hotel in New Mexico.  I really am a huge dork.  I’m not sure the “photo” part of this blog name is necessary.  We could rename it “Sarah the Big Dork”  and it would still be an apt title.  But, I’m rambling.  I’m sure you’d rather hear all about my road trip here, right?  Well, it involved eight or so hours in the car, which is as long as it sounds.  I took no pictures, because I really hate it when people shoot through glass and as I didn’t especially feel like riding with the window rolled down, I just appreciated the scenery sans camera.  And there was nice scenery; I don’t think the sky could have been bluer.  Oh alright, and I’ll confess that I am heartily sick of landscape photography at the moment, so that might have also been why I didn’t take any photos.  There.  I said it.  I guess I do feel better with that off my chest.

So the photographic part of this journey began approximately two minutes after we’d set our stuff down in the hotel room. I took a shining to the layout, colors, and architecture of the buildings I could see from the front porch and started there. But those aren’t the shots I chose for the Photo of the Day. Nope. As always, I spied a little creature and couldn’t help but photograph that. I even skulked about outside some poor, unsuspecting New Mexican’s home to photograph their cat that was perched so charmingly in the window. I know, do I have no shame?

It looks like there are plenty of things to keep my camera busy here for the next few days.  I love the colors and architecture that I’ve found here and am excited to point a well-rested eye at them today.  This is the part where I’d get to say my custom sign-off line if I actually was a special correspondent, but since I’m not, I’ll just stick with: see you tomorrow!  And I hope I do.
