I love this fall weather in Taos. The thermometer says that it's 45 degrees, but it feels like 75 degrees in the sun. So I walked the 4 miles to La Loma Plaza today to Casa Yaruba, Deborah's home, located next to my former residence, Casa Cubana, and had to wear sunscreen!Walking to Casa Yaruba at La Loma Plaza, I noticed this beautiful gate on the drive to the home on Upper Ranchitos, once owned by Tom Worrell, who built the famous El Monte Sagrado Spa here in Taos, and who restored many of the adobe homes in Taos, including Casa Yaruba and Casa Cubana.
Greetings from this amazing bear sculpture that greets all visitors to the La Loma Plaza compound!
Ginto, a well known potter in Taos as well as Deborah's husband, has completed and will fire the pots shown in these 2 photos this week. The white overlay on these pots is called a "slip" - he literally pours clay over the pot and then creates designs in it. I love the pre-fired look, looking forward to seeing them post-firing.
