We considered heading out to New Mexico this month to visit family, but our trip got delayed.  We’ll go again soon I’m sure, but it got me looking through old photographs and remembering some of our adventures out there.  On our way back from a trip to White Sands, NM we came across this:

the giant pistachio

And then this (the sign pretty much says it all):

park entrance sign

trails lead through the petroglyphs

view of the mountain

I’m not sure why I didn’t post these pictures before, but upon giving them a second look decided to share.  I mean, there could be the answers to some of the mysteries of the universe contained in these cryptic scratchings.  Maybe someone cleverer than me can decipher their meanings!

lizard, man with a tail???

a four legged creature?

striped  sheep?

7 legged antelope?

man? at marker number 9

another person? what’s coming out of his head?

this one reminds me of a tic tac toe board

more circles

bird?

this one has me believing aliens have been visiting the planet for a long time

rabbits are camouflaged well here

getting dark, time to go…
