Carlsbad Main Street and Historical District

This story will develop into it's own section and become a link in the taskbar above, like our "Carlsbad Caverns" "Military-Veterans" and "Fire Fighters" sections. In the future we will add photos of stores from the inside to give you a taste of what you will see when visiting our Downtown section. If you are a store owner and wish to have us stop by and photograph your store please contact us.

Desert Photos is a "not-for-profit" organization, it is our intention to promote our community, southeast New Mexico, as well as the southwest. Who says the best things in life can't be free!

Ah downtown Carlsbad, we love the personal touch of locally owned stores that you don't get with the large chain stores. This was Main Street Carlsbad's first Uncle Sam Sale, and it looked like everyone was enjoying the live band with Dancing in the streets. There were great sales and Uncle Sam even passing out raffle tickets. We even had radio coverage by 92.9 KZ93, all in all it was a great evening with the sales and the stores open late.

The Pecos River Antique Mall

21st Annual Ducky Affair

You could hear them in the truck. The hundreds of little duckies calling to be released to the water that was so close…quack quack quack. The people on the bridge were sympatric and began to chant with one voice for the release of the gate … Duckie! Duckie!! Duckie!!! The large ducks with the volunteer human leaders were in the water, poised to lead the little duckies to the safety of the finish line. The whistle sounds and the larger ducks are off swimming. But these are not the sweet little duck we would like to think they are, with their bright eyes and smiling bills. The riders must be careful for they are untamed and wild ducks. They can, and will if given the chance, buck you off or take you under with them, as one rider found out the hard way.
