El Paso: Sunset Heights on Prospect and Yandell


Entrance to Sunset Heights via Yandell, El Paso, Texas. October 2016.


October 2016

One October day, I struck out for a visit to Segundo Barrio. On my way there and on my way back, I catalogued some of the architectural sweets on Prospect and Yandell Streets in my neighborhood, Sunset Heights.

On my way down in the morning, I took Prospect Street.

Oh, how I love the building above. Its low-to-the-ground profile pleases me, its brick-red color cheers and warms me, like thick chili with beans in the fall. The taupe highlights satisfy. The park benches, the sculptured trees soften angles. This is a human abode. It is a place that recognizes the spirit in us.

On the way back home in the afternoon, I came up Prospect.

There are houses that impose.

They are handsome.

I love them, too.

El Paso: Spring in Sunset Heights


Sunset Heights, Prospect Street, El Paso, Texas. March 2017.


On a soul-warming sunny day in March, I walked to downtown El Paso by way of Prospect Street in Sunset Heights.

On my left I heard the burbling water sounds of a fountain or waterfall, accompanied by the melody of one of my favorite birds, a mockingbird. Oh, what a small oasis tended by the owner of the sweet cottage! A minute of Spring below:



Creeping succulents shot pink and yellow flares to catch the attention of tiny, flying pollinators.

Another cottage's reflective window captured the image of its neighbor across the street.

Gosh, El Paso is so pretty.
