Queen of the family



This one faces away from oncoming highway traffic and instead looks at the unpaved road its red dirt as hard as the months-long drought.

Two large silver conchos adorn the arms like surrendering palms turning toward sunlight.

In the late winter afternoon thin light distills everything into shades of tan.

The top of the cross from la familia is crowned by two glass door pulls, screwed one into the other.
