Shorthanded Lady Dogs battle in Bremond

Body
From a young age I have been very interested in hunting. My whole family loves to go hunting; it's like a tradition. Every fall of every year we go hunting and spend time with family. I especially love hunting down south near the small town of Reserve. The area is beautiful with high peaks and tall trees, and is filled with game such as: Mule deer, whitetail deer, elk, antelope, and coyotes. Most of the time when hunting we will run into some of these types of game. My favorite part is definitely the time spent with family. I have always enjoyed the thrill of the hunt, and hope to one day pass it down to future generations.

Lady Stangs take down Hudson

Body
Feliz Navidad! This artwork by Falicity Frank displays the magic of the Christmas-holiday season. It includes: red and green (Christmas colors) hot air fiesta balloons, including one in the foreground left; lit candles at the bottom of a Christmas Tree; the New Mexico red and yellow symbol of the state at the top of the tree; the Albuquerque city skyline backdrop; another gorgeous Christmas Tree to the right; and, of all things, a cute green alien, presumably from Mars. (He or she might make a nice pet - maybe for someone from Roswell). Wow, quite a holiday scene. There are also seasonal decorative pottery pieces set throughout this backspace and a string of lights adorning across the Christmas landscape in this picturesque piece of holiday art. Let's not forget a basket of chile peppers to the left and, way up in the sky to the right, clouds, another planet, flying saucers, and a small star's brilliance to the upper right. Falicity has quite an imagination and created a beautiful scene to give us even more holiday cheer.
