Fall colors along the Albuquerque Bosque 11_1_22

We spent Dia de los Muertos riding our bikes on the Paseo del Bosque bike trail in Albuquerque. The cottonwoods are now changing over to bright yellow and orange and it makes for a scenic bike ride.

Anniversary hike 10_10_22

To celebrate our anniversary, we tried going up to our favorite Fall color viewing spot in the Ski Basin. Sadly, a paving project turned the road into a parking lot. So we changed plans and visited the Santa Fe Canyon Preserve, the nearby Bear Canyon trail and the Randall Davey Audubon Center where we had our wedding 36 years ago.

Clouds 10_4_22

Another wet weather pattern has brought low stratus clouds that look like smoke from a fast moving fire. Thankfully, it’s just bringing rain!

Star gazing 9_24_22

We participated in an astro-photography workshop given by photographer Stan Ford at the Forked Lightning Ranch house in the Pecos National Historical Park. Lots of tips to help me take better pictures of the stars and lots of fun to just sit and look!

Even more September critters!

Our local goat herding service helping with weed control, a camouflaged coyote, baby bull snake slithering on the road and a spooky tarantula on the march in search of a mate (that time of year for the spider’s migrations).

Critter cornucopia in September

A thirsty bobcat came by for a drink at the bird bath, piñon jays are fighting over sunflower seeds, a finch enjoyed the sprinklers and a badger (sighted by our neighbor) has been excavating our driveway.
