Autumnal Equinox


So day and night were of equal length this Saturday. From here on out, the days grow shorter. It's a time that marks the coming of winter and the harvest, so I really wanted to make sure we went to the Santa Fe Farmer's Market Saturday morning. It was a crisp, blustery day. We saw lots and lots of apples, pumpkins, gourds, and of course, chile. They were roasting green chile at three different stands, and the air was thick with it. Later that day, things warmed up, and we went to an outdoor wedding at the Randall Davey Audubon Center. (It was Tommy's bandmate in the Unborn Soul, Mike Tait. You can check them out on My Space.) After the ceremony, Tommy and I took some time out to stroll around with the camera, and he got some great shots.

This baby liked to watch the chile roaster go round and round.


Lots of musicians were playing at the market.


Look close (or maybe, enlarge) to see the hummingbird in the background.

How wonderful! You live a wild and glorious life, my dear. Just the life I imagined you having back in our undergrad days.

I agree on the white carpet and expect to find the inventor of white bathroom tile in an adjoining circle of hell.
