For a week in October, I visited my friend, Elly, in New Mexico. We had a great time being tourist (me) and private tourist guide (her). Here are some camera photos taken during that trip. Fuji X-T3 camera 16-80mm lens. (copyright J Mummert 2024)

My first Amber Ale:

There’s a little story about the above photo. When I told my grandson that I was going to New Mexico and would bring back a t-shirt, he quickly asked for one with an alien on it. Despite not being anywhere near tourist stores around Area 51, I found one. When we went out to dinner one evening, this beer was listed among beverages served. Decided to try it. Brought the bottle and cap home as a souvenir for my kitchen. When I sent my grandson this photo via text, his reply was “Wowy!” He’s 15.

A Roadrunner in Elly’s Neighborhood:

First time I ever saw a roadrunner. Very cool bird. And cute! (taken with my phone)
