Every year in Madrid, a parade of locals celebrates the lighting of the Christmas lights in this old mining town. It's a festive afternoon with bagpipe players leading the parade of happy dancers, the volunteer fire department truck, and pets of various breeds walking along with angels, gypsies and Santa on a motorcycle.
Parade highlights were folks like these... a Gander with his goose and a holiday cook walking her dog.
Posing nicely with their human friends are Solo the yak (w/Annie) and Murphy the friendly goat (w/Cindy).

Art in Colorado
Well, just a few selections of what we saw in Colorado.
First, a view of one corner in the DAM.
I have no idea of why a giant blue bear is looking into the window of the building in downtown Denver.
Nor what the baby in the museum is so upset about. But the Chilhuly room in Colorado Springs was absolutely glowing!

Colorado
Just returned from a wonderful time in Denver (and other parts of Colorado). Love the new museum addition by Libeskind which is covered in titanium panels and is meant to recall Colorado's geometric rock formations.
The large exhibit of Sandy Skoglund's "Fox Games" depicts an invasion of gray foxes within a restaurant. The foxes prowl on and around red tables in an entirely red room. Every element of the installation—forks, knives, plates, dinner rolls, and even a squirrel in the mouth of one of the foxes—is painted red. Click on photo to enlarge!
Deborah Butterfield's horses are still the best! She has the pieces of wood cast in metal first, then assembles them into a horse. Wow!
Oh, yes, this little place was on our drive through the mountains.

Today's postcards
Time to update... so here are a few cards I've sent out that you may not have seen. I rather like the rabbit. It is drawn from a sculpture I love by Gino Miles, a sculptor who has a place on Canyon Road.
The Graphic Designer Souvenir speaks for itself. Why is drawing with a mouse easier than drawing with a pen and tablet? Practice!
And when I get my scanner working again, I'll scan a few of Dave's for you to see!

Peñasco Day Trip
A sunny winter day... a drive up the High Road to Taos.
Dining at the Sugar Nymphs Bistro in Peñasco (where the fine chef migrated from San Francisco's Greens Restaurant.)
Located next to the town theatre with a cold and lovely lobby area.
And outside, some creative fences brightened by the snow.
A good day!
