I used a tripod and a remote to take this. Once the shot was set up I didn’t want to have to touch the camera again!

Tomorrow is July 4th. Happy 4th to all who celebrate it.

My grandfather was born on July 4th in 1905. If he were alive he would be 103.

Little Red Hamburger Hut and Salon

A salon and day spa that serves little red burgers. The two just don’t seem to go together and I would seriously hesitate to try this.

North Diversion Channel

When it rains here in Albuquerque, which is not often, the water is collected into these diversion channels to prevent flooding.

No, the sky is not blown out… it was actually that color!

Summer Fun

At least when it’s not thundering and lightning! This is The New Mexico Rattler which is located at Uncle Cliff’s here in Albuquerque. I have never been on it but it has been voted one of the Top 25 Wooden Coasters in the world.

Isn’t that a lovely grey sky? The thunder and lightning was spectacular.

Santa Fe Peppers

Santa Fe Peppers, located right next store to yesterday’s post Jersey Jacks, offers great service. The food is fresh and prepared to order as you watch. They offer nice size portions and it is affordable. They offer your typical Mexican food: burritos, tacos, nachos and salads and several choices of tortillas, meats, salsas, rice and beans. At Santa Fe Peppers you can take your meal to go or eat at their establishment.

Jersey Jacks is like an old fashioned from the northeast deli. As far as I know they are the only place out here in Albuquerque that carries Boar’s Head products and believe me I have looked.
