Weekend Wildflower

This past Sunday, me and Madeline went to Elephant Butte, NM for a photo shoot. Madeline took photos of our hair stylist Anette's three boys. It was a fun shoot, as we had them climb up a tree, pose in front of desert foliage, and roll around on the lawn.

We also visited Madd's folks, Gerald and Susie, and their soon-to-be-completed new home. It's really close to being done, just laying the concrete around the house, a wall or two, some fencing, and wha-la! We'll take more detailed photos in the coming weeks.

View from their patio. (Notice the manicured dirt. This photo was taken about a month earlier; but rest assured that the patio area has now been paved nicely with concrete.)

Side view of the new house, from the patio point of view. (The architectural style can be called Tuscan. But after nearly a year of building the house, sometimes Gerald has called it by different names.)

But as we were driving back home, we noticed a patch of wildflowers blooming by the side of the road. We had to stop and admire it, and of course, take pictures.
