Weather was rotten today, Jan. 13, 2007, and I’d been out apartment hunting, so this afternoon I took a break by going for another walk thru the old downtown and Plaza areas. This time, the sculpture gallery was open, and with the storm the light was softer, so I was able to get some better shots than last time. The streaks in some of them are blowing snow, not scratches. 1st off, of course, was the old Indian fighter watching the shenanigans across the street……….

Wondering just what that naked Indian was doing with that Buffalo skull…………

A little better view of the Warrior fighting (or catching) the Eagle…………..

And a better lit shot of the Cougar attacking the Warrior…………

Next to all that drama, a fat and happy pig…………

Next to an Indian lady at the local waterhole………….

Which is across the way from the lovers…………..

Who are next door to the scouting party………….

And the Bison hunter who got a little too close…………

Meanwhile, off in the corner, ol’ Br’er Bear tears into his honey log…………

And the massive Bull Elk bugles at the stormy sky……………

What a great place to visit. The old downtown Plaza area isn’t all that big, about 5 or 6 blocks square, but it’s 100’s of years old, with brick sidewalks, stuccoed adobe buildings, and crammed with galleries and such that even for a non-shopper like Lar are irresistable to prowl thru once in a while. There’s an antique furniture shop in an arcade where they had a really great old Spanish Colonial style leather armchair with footstool. Beautiful thing, and the lady said that she thinks it’s only rotated into storage, and can bring it back out for me. Hmmm………maybe in a couple of months. It’s only $4200.00. Why not ?? It’s not much when you say it fast.
