DATURA © John Farnsworth 2008
This elegant and beautiful Datura stramonium (jimsonweed) has closed for the day, having been open from dusk to mid-morning. A member, along with the potato, of the Deadly Night Shade Family (Solanaceae), it is also known as Yerba del Diablo, or Reina de la Noche due to its powerful, and sometimes deadly hallucinogenic properties. The Zuñi name is Toloache, from the Nahuatl word Toloatzin.
I found this one growing in Thea's garden last summer, in Taos.

ESCARAMUZA CHARRA © John Farnsworth 2008
Escaramuza, or skirmish, the women's precision side saddle equestrian drill team competition, is a favorite part of the Charreria, or Mexican rodeo. This "confection" is from my visit to Apaseo el Grande in the state of Guanajuato, in 2006.

EVENING, VEJER © John Farnsworth 2008
On my own after a week of teaching in Jerez and Sevilla, I rented a car and started a week long tour of los Pueblos Blancos, the white villages, of Andalucia in Southern Spain. I pulled into the pueblo of Vejer de la Frontera late on the first evening, found a nice, small hotel, checked in and dashed up to the roof for a series of shots as the sun set over this beautiful site.
