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.

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!

We drove up to Abiquiú for a workshop on making cyanotypes given by our favorite artist, Anna Goraczko. There were beautiful vistas and a cyanotype sky at the studio of the workshop host, Hilary Lorenz. Added a rainbow from earlier in the week.

Moonlight walk at Pecos National Historic Park

Posted on August 14, 2022 by Jabo

A special event at the park where a limited number of folks were allowed in after closing to walk through the Pueblo by moonlight. The moon didn’t oblige until the end of the walk but the dark skies did have some nice meteors left over from the Perseid shower.

Storm 8_7_22

Posted on August 13, 2022 by Jabo

We were slammed last Sunday with high winds, lots of lightning, hail and about 3.5 inches of rain. What was a narrow cloud burst I was filming for thunder sound samples, became a major storm. Walking around the neighborhood afterwards, we saw plenty of washed out driveways and even some downed trees. Our garden plants were pummeled and we may be done with the tomatoes.
