Wet weather moved in last week and brought interesting clouds along with almost 2 inches of rain. So far, it’s been a very wet Fall this year.

I was hanging out watching the sunset when two young coyotes came bounding by. Each one stopped and posed for me before bounding off again. Heard them howling later in the evening.
There’s been an explosion of yellow in the greenbelts due to the blooming Cowpen Daisies and we had a nice rainbow after a nicer rain. Also including some garden flowers and bird visitors along with Tarantulas we spotted on two separate walks. It’s that time of year when they begin their march to who-knows-where! The nights are getting nippy so Fall is fast approaching.
A rainy muddy visit to Panchuela Creek led us to drive up the road to Jack’s Creek where we enjoyed sunshine for the rest of the day. There was a nice view of the clouds drifting over East Pecos Baldy from out picnic spot and plenty of magpies and a coyote rounded out our visit.
Trying to catch up on posting. Here are a few cloud shots along with the moon and wild daisies blooming in the greenbelt.
Catching up on posting after spending time trying to find new photo apps to replace the old dusty ones. Lots of quail still coming by, the hummingbirds are out in force and draining the feeders and we have a good bunch of bumble bees. I’m also posting a short movie of the mayhem that goes on at the hummingbird feeders
Clouds rolled in and the rain came down. A nice half inch downpour was followed by a sunset.
The Hummers are out in force and fighting over the feeders, several Quail families are visiting the bird bath along with Juniper Titmouse and Western Scrub Jays. Top it off with the Tarantula Hawk (really a big wasp that preys on Tarantulas), the official State insect.
And I now have spam filters working so the comments are back on!
