I had occasion last year to visit some friends that raise Llama. They are in Texas in the winter and beautiful Colorado (Pagosa Springs) in the summer. The llama don't like it really hot like it is here in Texas. They picked me up in Albuquerque and on the way to Pagosa Springs we stopped for lunch at this cute place for Mexican food. I thought this was an intriguing view. Hope you do as well. Thanks for coming by and taking a peek. Anita

Nice place to get a lunch, great picture with the red peppers hanging to dry and the flowers all over the place. It is full of atmosphere I like that.

First impression was that it was old, but when i looked better, everything is new ! , just styled to make it look like a old restaurant, but well done.
I also see peppers hanging... i love those, the hotter the better.
Thanks for the posting.

This is a great shot to 'lounge' in, Anita. We like the whole southwestern motif especially the colours and textures that are both evident here. Great shot.

BTW: I'm glad you 'enjoyed??' your little tour of the Belfast cemetery. Cheers! - Dave

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel. -Josemaria Escriva

Was the food as good as the atmosphere? I like old places like this. Try the Coyote Cafe at Buena Vista Colorado sometime. Realy a nice image Anita.

The name ChuPat is derived from my nickname Chuck and my wife of 34 years name Patti. Her photography will appear on Caedes as well from time to time. I consider myself an advanced amature not anyway close to being a professional. I have just taken photography more seriously since I have switched to digital. My profession has always been associated with pohtography in one way or another. Any criticism I receive will be well appreciated.

Great look to this one. I especially like the styrofoam cup. It seems a little incongruous. A mixture of old and new. It is quaint.

A lot of interesting elements in this photo, and your sharp photo brings out all of them. The minimal color accents well, especially the turquoise window frame and item on the shelf. Well done and thanks for sharing.
