Carrizozo, New Mexico is a charming little town about 60 miles north of our home in Alamogordo. Its population today is only about 1000, but it is the county seat of Lincoln County (which is not quite as big as the state of Connecticut).
Recently, Carla and a number of members of her chapter of the Red Hat Society (a social order for mature women) traveled to Carrizozo for a day of shopping (the official Red Hat sport) and lunch.
A noted feature of the town is the many painted statues of donkeys on display in front of and inside many commercial establishments.
But this one seemed to especially resonate for us here.

This fellow was showing off his compositional skills at the Tularosa Basin Gallery of Photography, an important venue for the works of New Mexico Photographers.
Best regards,
Doug

Tularosa Basin refers to the region bounded by the Sacramento Mountains on the east and the San Andres, Oscuro, and Organ Mountains on the west. Carrizozo lies at its northern end. It lies within the Chihuahuan Desert. We live just at its eastern edge.
This region is considered a basin rather than a valley as it does not contain, and was not created by, a river.
