I can drink wine. mmm wine. I can sing like no one&#8217;s watching &#8211; which I might add I am totally doing right now, because no one is watching. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;. anyways&#8230; To all you avid blog readers: you may have noticed I have been away from my &#8216;post&#8217; for 2 weeks. Shout out to you! Thanks for checking in to make sure I was still kicking, you 2.\u00a0\u00a0To keep you up to speed, I spent last week driving around the state of New Mexico and this week readjusting to the chill in Minnesota. And I&#8217;ve got pictures to prove it {the first part, that is}<\/p>\n<p>With regards to the top photo you may be asking yourself, &#8220;Wow where did she get a photo of a model? I didn&#8217;t think she knew many models.&#8221; Oh no, I don&#8217;t, but that is infact Mur posing for me. He was such a good sport! Not only did he stand here and let me take pictures of him, he never once complained on the trip about the amount of pictures I took {ahem &#8211; 734}. What a keeper.<\/p>\n<p>We covered over 3000 miles of this grand &#8216;ol country visiting a handful of state and national parks and some close friends of mine. I&#8217;ve got a few photos to post tonight but rest assured there are more to come alongside more detail of the trip.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jmnphotography.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/03\/img_7122_1-5_1-5_0.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-332\" title=\"img_7122_1-5_1-5_0\" src=\"http:\/\/jmnphotography.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/03\/img_7122_1-5_1-5_0.jpg?resize=288%2C432\" alt=\"img_7122_1-5_1-5_0\" width=\"288\" height=\"432\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After a delightfully long day of driving Mur and I made it into Santa Fe, New Mexico. {insert long long LONG nap} After &#8216;doing up&#8217; Santa Fe the best we could in 3 hours, we cruised down to Albuquerque and investigated the Petroglyph national monument. {insert above photo} . The entire trip it was like the sun gods were looking down upon me for photos and a sun burn. At this time of the year, the spring itch is so strong in Minnesota that even a 5 degree\u00a0up swing\u00a0is a blessing. Imagine a 50 degree change! We were absolutely wallowing in it!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jmnphotography.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/03\/img_7019.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-328\" title=\"img_7019\" src=\"http:\/\/jmnphotography.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/03\/img_7019.jpg?resize=288%2C432\" alt=\"img_7019\" width=\"288\" height=\"432\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We spent a lot of time driving but we also took lots of time to sight see and wander in both parks and cities. This above picture is from a well know church in Cerillos. Now, what it is well know for i never did learn, but the light was amazing behind it, so I snapped some pictures.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and that concludes&#8230; day 2. Yeah, I know. A pretty pathetic blog post but hey, I have been editing photos non-stop this evening on one of the slowest computers and i feel that before I throw it out the window or shove it down the garbage disposal, I should wrap it up and call it a night.<\/p>\n<p>I promise to make another post in good time&#8230; &#8220;on my honor or else I be chopped up and made into soup&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh delightful day of Friday, whoever created this day of &#8216;end&#8217; was a great person.
