I like the bike trails when doing a big loop around the city. They stretch for miles without crossing a single street. My 09/20/24 postcard captures construction work on the North Diversion Channel. I couldn’t help but think I wouldn’t feel too comfortable working down there with the clouds.
While walking along Claremont Ave, I discovered a rare gem—a 1958 Ford Edsel. Not every day you see one of these beauties on the street. My 09/19/24 postcard captures this classic piece of automotive history.
The early mornings still offer a few lingering nighttime blooms as the mornings grow cooler. My 09/18/24 postcard captures one blossom I found on Natalie Ave before it closed up for the day.
My 09/17/24 postcard captures the old First National Bank Building, a once-thriving Albuquerque landmark built in 1963. Viewed from the VA at San Mateo's south end, the empty tower now stands in quiet solitude.
My 09/16/24 postcard captures a sunflower on Solano Drive, a final burst of golden color as summer slowly slips away. Soon, these bright blooms will vanish.
While walking down Garfield, I spotted a small head peeking out from beneath a bush. A closer look revealed a familiar face—Willie Nelson. After seeing it, my brain filled up with his music, so I’m featuring the head in my 09/15/24 postcard.
My 09/14/24 postcard captures a moment from a martial arts demonstration we stumbled upon along Gibson. Under the bright sun, students, instructors, and judges watched each move with focused intensity, a quiet energy in the air.
My 09/13/24 postcard captures a sunflower I found along an irrigation ditch in the North Valley. Its center hosts a bee busily working and dusted yellow with pollen.
My 09/12/24 captures the ROTC launching a hot air balloon at Johnson Field. In the crisp morning air, the balloon made a short ascent a couple of times before the air got too warm.
My 09/11/24 postcard captures a stuffed elk from the Game and Fish exhibit at the fair. It was dollar day, so I walked to the fair and wandered the grounds. This majestic creature caught my eye amidst the fair's bustle.
