The Elephants (?what elephants?)

   There are always some large bronze castings by Peter Woytuk on the lawn at Ghost Ranch in Santa Fe. We went out to get pictures of the elephants yesterday, because every second person you mention them to says "What elephants?"—even if you are driving past right then and the elephants are in plain sight. A truck and a crane were removing the tall sculpture which had been on the corner of Paseo de Peralta and Old Taos Highway. Someone said that that piece had been bought, and that a couple of the bulls would be coming back in its place.

As may be just hinted in the picture at the right, yesterday noonish was the moment that everything in Santa Fe was as green as it gets. Every last cottonwood leaf and ornamental locust tree entirely fresh and singing a song of summer.
