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

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!

Posted on September 25, 2022 by Jabo

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

Posted on September 20, 2022 by Jabo

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.

The Pecos Wilderness Area has finally been opened up and we took advantage and hiked our favorite creek last week. As usual, very green from all the rain.

The cowpens are beginning to fade as the evening temps are dropping and the rain has taken a break. Nice rainbow to finish it off.

Norski Trail hike 8_31_22

Posted on September 3, 2022 by Jabo

We went up to the Ski Basin for a hike at the Norski Trail and then had lunch at our favorite creek, Big Tesuque. Almost chilly and lush with all of the rain. The creek was gushing.

Greenbelt 8_22_22

Posted on August 24, 2022 by Jabo

Thanks to the abundance of rain we’ve had, the greenbelt is awash in flowers… mostly Cowpen Daisies. We’ve gone from a 1200 year drought to over 15 inches of rain since June (an inch over our yearly total)… helping to put out our fires and create a green green greenbelt!
