Emotional attachment with some...not so good memories:) I can relate as there are several places like that for me in my life:) I won't go to them because of bad voodoo:) But I have to tell you.....that wedding sounded very nice:) Such a beautiful place.

I'll tell you why I had this reaction. :-) Years ago, when I moved our daughter out here, she met and fell in love with a local boy. The resulting family (our daughter, sil and grandson) are the reason we moved here ourselves a year and a half ago. But, they weren't married at first, and when plans for the wedding started to take shape, Tumacacori won hands down. I even sent them a $100. deposit to use the mission for the wedding (there's no electricity of course so it would have been so rustic and historic!) her wedding gown is even Spanish in style. It would have been BEAUTIFUL! And, that's the problem...it WOULD have been! They separated for three years, and our daughter and grandson came to live near us in Virginia. Then, later, they worked things out and got back together. And, well, the wedding plans had lost their umph by that time. They decided to go to Vegas, and that's where they got married. The wedding gown never got used. (I still haven't sold it and need to) The downpayment on Tumacacori was lost. The romance of a wedding there has always stuck in my craw, though my daughter was certainly beautiful in her shorter wedding dress. But we didn't even go to the wedding. I flew out here to watch our grandson. And, we have never been to see Tumacacori...even though we have been living in this area now for the last year and a half. We keep saying we are going to go. I had so hoped to post pictures of it, and you beat me to it! :-) But, that's OK...I'm not really mad. For one thing, your focus was on birds, and even though I love photographing birds, my camera makes it very hard for me to be very successful in that regard. So, my focus will be different. It will be interesting to compare the two "views." I'm actually glad you went. It put a burr in my saddle to get there! :-) A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-68639918514143413692013-01-31T09:42:51.146-07:002013-01-31T09:42:51.146-07:00Wow...
