Bullock's Oriole, Caballo Lake State Park, Caballo NM, May 1, 2012
That's it, I'm outa here.
My three weeks is up here at Caballo Lake State Park and I have to move on. I'm only allowed three weeks at a time in a given park.
May is marching on and it's time to head east if I want to get back to Red Rock and off the road before Memorial Day so I might as well head out. Of course I'm headed north a bit first (can you feel my eastbound feet dragging?)to get my periodic fix at the Apple store in Albuquerque before actually turning east.

Was Love Then
Was love then like a bag of assorted sweets passed around from which one might choose more than once? Some might sting the tongue, some invoke night perfume. Some had centers as bitter as gall, some blended honey and poison, some were quickly swallowed. And among the common bull's-eyes and peppermints a few rare ones; one or two with deadly needles at the heart, another that brought calm and gentle pleasure. Were his fingers closing on that one?
