Largest crowd yet. And lots of animal suits (I hear it’s called tactical frivolity).

The Vladem Contemporary Art Museum was featuring an exhibit of the Art Nouveau artist, Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939). Originally from Czechoslovakia and later working in Paris, he was a painter, illustrator and graphic artist who was widely regarded as a founder of the Art Nouveau movement. His work later drew the attention of the Nazis and he died in 1939 shortly after his arrest, imprisonment and release. His work was an inspiration for the psychedelic art of the 60’s and for Manga and Comic art of today.
On the way to the museum, I watched the local Roadrunner leave the station and later saw the Sky Railway train pass through the neighborhood.
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
