Nice flowering cloud at sunset probably signifying the end of the stormy weather.

Three days of hard rain and hail have yielded about 5″ of rain (which is a little under half of what we usually get for the year). Clouds billowed up on the first day and then darkened and opened up with rain. Then a loud hailstorm lasted for an hour. Glad to get the moisture

A little Black-chinned Hummingbird is the first one I’ve spotted at the feeder this year. He was buzzing about and flying his territorial dive-bombing but I wasn’t able to get a photo of him until now. The bluebirds and scaled quails are also starting to appear… so Spring has sprung!
A combination of shots taken early in April and again this last Thursday (4/24). Our first Galisteo hike was too durn cold so we went up to Pecos for our picnic. Yesterday we went back to the Galisteo Basin and had a nice hike around the boulders there.
Thanks to all of you who sent along birthday wishes! We decided to stay in and watch the snow fall which are two of my favorite activities. By noon this Easter day, everything has melted away.
It was snowy and cold but twice the number of folks from the last gathering. Our wonderful Representative, Teresa Leger-Fernandez spoke in support.
And some nice clouds.
I know there are a lot of you who shop at REI. Right now their workers are trying to unionize and need your help.
Sadly, this outdoor outfitter has been fighting unionization like many big corporations. Union organizers are asking REI active members (anyone who’s spent over 10 bucks this year) to vote against the current slate of REI hand-picked board candidates.

A nice storm passed through last week and left about 4″ of snow. We’re grateful for the moisture but not the 50 mph winds that preceded it! Another round arrives this Thursday.
