Ancient wonders visits

 Today's suggestion for Sepia Saturday

What does this remind me of?

A dwelling dated to 1123 AD, Dominguez Pueblo...near Delores CO.

Parts of the Pueblo still remain, between the parking lot and the entrance to the museum...so everyone has to walk by it.

Looking away from the museum, and the pueblo, there is a great view of the river valley. I think the mountains in the distance contain Mesa Verde.

A simple looking building, which houses an extensive collection of artifacts of the Pueblo/Anasazi inhabitants from their 2000 years here.

Pretty sure this is Ute Mountain, to the west. At times it looks like a reclining Native American, especially from my son's house in Cortez CO.

Can you see the cat?

I liked that I visited the Anasazi Museum in Delores CO when it wasn't crowded at all.

This was part of my trip out west which started with a friend's offer to drive me to New Mexico...and I rented a car to get to Taos and Santa Fe where I met my son and his partner. What a great adventure, and I came home totally broke! That was part of the joys of 2019.  (Before pandemic.)

Joy of joys, between pandemic and leaving my passion for pottery, I still find amazing things and people  crossing my path. No six degrees of separation here! Hi to fellow Sepian blogger Mike Brubaker...I just went (Thurs.) to the library here in Black Mountain to have AARP do my taxes. The woman helping me started talking about her husband's pursuit of identifying people in photo post cards, after mentioning a connection in art, and before we knew it we were introducing ourselves as very well connected to Sepia Saturday...as Mike is none other than her husband!

That made me wonder how long I've been involved with Sepia Saturday...will try to figure that out next!

And the answer seems to be Jan. 2015 as my first foray into Sepia Saturdays. Most enjoyable reading others' posts, and comments on mine! Thanks everyone!
