When we took our trip to New Mexico it was fabulous. As I have mentioned before I took over 830 photos, some of my favorites are of Cuervo, New Mexico, a “ghost town” that we passed on our way home. As was usual for me I had my camera in hand while we were driving down the road, snapping away at anything that caught my eye when I saw these amazing old buildings, but before I could really focus on what I was seeing we were past the town. I just looked at Big D and he knew it was one of those moments that he had to endure with living with someone who has a passion, one for photography and for old buildings. The next exit was about 10 miles down the road, (thanks to navigation we didn’t have to guess) and we headed back to what was one of the highlights for me on our trip. It was like traveling back in time when I stepped out of our car, a little creepy also since it was deserted and you felt like you were being watched! But I got lost in photographing the scenery so that feeling soon left. We didn’t stay near long enough for me, but I did get some good shots…so here is my Thursday Thirteen this week, the ghost town of Cuervo, New Mexico, enjoy!

These are awesome, Sherry! I have never been anywhere like that, so I would be snapping up a storm too. I didn’t take hardly any pictures when we were gone, mostly because it was to a place we’ve been many times before. But I love going somewhere new, and photographing all of the fun stuff. Looks like you guys had a wonderful trip, and you got some incredible shots of so many different and interesting things. You have a great eye!

Great pix. If buildings could talk, imagine what stories they could tell! That’s one place we didn’t see on our multiple trips to NM.
