Saturday morning market in Franschhoek, South Africa (Pop. 17,000)…music, champagne, food, children, lovely sunny but cool morning after glorious rain in the night.

Entrada
While driving along the I-10 in southeastern Arizona, you go through a short stretch of incredibly beautiful landscape called Texas Canyon. Tucked away just to the north is a small town called Dragoon (Pop. 109). There is the beautiful Amerind Research Library and Museum, and this entryway is on the grounds, although the gate is not really turquoise.

Mt. Dora Old Baptist Church
I made this journal page of an abandoned church in the small Central Florida town of Mount Dora, Florida (Pop. 13,000) on January 28. A local man is trying to get support to preserve this old church.

San Marcos (New Mexico)
San Marcos Pueblo was one of the largest Pueblos in the Southwest in the 15th and 16th centuries, located in the Galisteo Basin a bit east of Santa Fe. Today it is an archeological dig (Pop. 0), but along the “Turquoise Trail”, Hwy 14, is the San Marcos Café and Feed Store, a roadside distraction worthy of a small town sketch. The café has wild Turkeys and Peacocks wandering about the grounds, and very sketch-worthy surroundings. This kiva fireplace is inside in one of the dining rooms.

Lonely Church . . .
This church was abandoned because a new church was built and no one wanted to buy this one. And yet the whole town of Necedah, WI (pop- 915) seems to be headed the same way.
