With Fall around the corner, the hummers are stocking up on sugar water for the long flight South. This last week, all 3 of our feeders were emptied daily and the aerobatic dogfights were intense. Things have calmed down a bit. And now the bumble bees are out gathering pollen from our flowers.








The storm that gave us an inch and a half of rain, also left us with a nice double rainbow.



Had a nice cool hike up near the Santa Fe Ski Basin and the wildflowers were aplenty! Finished off with a picnic along the Rio en Medio.















Smoke from the fires in Canada have made it down to New Mexico and have made for some hazy red sunsets.




A Great Horned Owl watched the latest sunset with me (with a nice chorus of hoots). And there are more hummingbirds fighting over the feeders!







We were probably underneath some atmospheric turmoil where these spectacular clouds were building in time for the setting sun to light them up!







Getting out and about while thee weather was cool.
