Woman In Paris

Parisienne seen on the Right Bank.

(If the first time you saw the word Parisienne it was in connection with a Pontiac auto -- no problem. Models from the 1950s and 1960s were especially fine "Belle Femmes.")

New Mexico Snowstorm, December 5, 2011/Photo One

This photograph was taken Monday, December 5, during a mammoth snowstorm that was pounding Central New Mexico. The photo was taken near U.S. Highway 60 that runs through New Mexico, East to West.

In the East in New Mexico, Highway 60 starts near the town of Clovis, where the great Buddy Holly of Lubbock, Texas, recorded some of his legendary music, including the timeless classic "Oh Boy."

(For more about Buddy Holly, and John Pickering, who sang backing vocals on "Oh Boy" and other Buddy Holly tunes, visit www.musicoftheworldXXI.blogspot.com and www.texasmusicnow.blogspot.com.)



(When this photograph was taken, the Arctic storm was nowhere near finished.)

"Old House Seen Through Frosty Window"

This is an old house near Highway 60 that traverses New Mexico from East to West. The house sits at 6,500 feet in Central New Mexico near the Manzano Mountains.

(When this photo was taken during the morning of December 5, this early December, pre-Winter storm was nowhere near finished.)
