Derry, New Mexico: A Drive-By

Packing crates, Derry, New Mexico


Drove through Derry, New Mexico, on my way to Percha Dam State Park.

Some day it will be possible to capture aromas for sharing, but alas, it's not possible today. I stepped out of the car to look at the startling white cotton balls in a field and experienced the unexpected pleasure of breathing in peppers ... being roasted? Dried? I know there was drying going on, as there are a number of drying (and roasting?) sheds in and about town, but if that process releases fragrances, I didn't know. A delicious smell.

This cotton field. The cotton so pristine and fluffy, it was as if someone bought cotton balls at the store and then glued them onto the plants.

You can almost reach into the picture and pluck off the cotton.
