About Me

My photo
Split personality. Liking the arts, especially opera, and hockey and Los Toros. I know, I know THAT one is non pc currently. But I can't help it saw some in Spain and got hooked, but good. But on the other hand right now opera and hockey are in the forefront!

A Santa Fe Summer Morning feeling...

waking up to low 50's and bright sunshine...
feels like an August morning in Santa Fe NM...crisp, brisk, cool, immaculate blue sky!
NM High Dessert vista.
Pueblo ruins N of Albuquerque, NM
There the air shimmers. The day beckons to take a hike in the mountains nearby, before the heat arrives by 2 PM, although that is a very dry heat, as enjoyable as any heat can be.
Such low humidity, that one's sweat evaporates almost BEFORE it breaks out, LOL.

And "Dimples" Anton Khudobin goes back up to the NHL to sub for Harding (injured). Probably 'good bye, dosvidanya' Anton, for the rest of the Aeros seaon.
Hockey is winding down for the summer.Players are gearing up to head for the tropics to loll in sun and sea and frolic unabashedly.
Or make for the 'links' instead of the 'rinks'.
Opera in staid houses, too, is winding down, only to spring up renewed at various summer festivals around the world.'Mother Nature' as set designer-
thunderclouds over an opera house for, perhaps:
A gale at sea -"Peter Grimes" Britten;
the end as "Don Giovanni" Mozart, descends into hell;
On a Scottish brae: "Macbeth" Verdi/Shakespeare - witches predict 'Rise and Death' of Macbeth,
"Otello" Verdi - survival of the Moor's ships in storm at sea).
