My blog is pretty laid back. I like to share jokes, recipes, books I've read, photos I've taken, day-to-day vignettes, and odd or fascinating items. All with a splash of humor. CURRENT HEADER PHOTO: My sister's famous cherry cookies.

Sunday Bridges - Carlsbad Pecos River
The town of Carlsbad, New Mexico is famous for its Caverns, but the center of town has a beautiful park that runs along the Pecos River.

Well, you've taken «Louis» back to his childhood! He remembers visiting the Carlsbad Caverns, taken there by an aunt and uncle who lived in Hobbs, NM. («Louis» grew up in Lubbock, TX.) He remembers swimming in this river after the visit to the Caverns.
ReplyDelete«Louis» thanks you for your contribution to Sunday Bridges.

ReplyDeleteCan I come travel with you? I can cook. I have a sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteLovely bridge. It looks quite a distance from one side to the other, guess my legs would get tired by half way.
ReplyDeleteThat view is sooooo pretty. It would be fun to be on the bridge in the middle of the lake.
ReplyDeleteThat is one long, low bridge! Very pretty looking, too. But, I see no pedestrians... :(
ReplyDeleteI really like that second photo!!! The bridge draws you in!!!
ReplyDeletenice...like walking on water....wonder if it ever floods...

ReplyDeleteAwesome shots! I love the blues! New Mexico is a place that I want to visit again.
ReplyDeleteI would love to walk across that bridge, especially over all that water. Beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhen I visited New Mexico's Chaco Canyon I photographed a snake in a kiva.
Oh wow, you are close to my childhood neck of the woods!! Carlsbad was about an hour away! I think they have some awesome Christmas lights too along the Pecos. So if you are ever there around holiday times, check it out!
ReplyDeleteI hope it doesn't flood, the bridge seems very low.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about pedestrian bridges? I feel like a kid who just has to cross it!
ReplyDeleteI love your last photo with all the shadows and the curve at the end of the bridge.
ReplyDeleteI like how the colour of the bridge looks in contrast to the water.
