Found these two going at it right out in the open. They are New Mexico Whiptail lizards and they’re the official State of New Mexico reptile. They’re parthenogenic; that is… there are only females and they don’t require males to reproduce. So females mate with other females, the natural kingdom’s version of gay sex (they are nicknamed “lesbian lizards”). There’s also biting involved judging from the photo.

Whiptails will burrow and lay up to 4 eggs that hatch in 8 weeks or so. They can run like the wind and get up on their back to legs for maximum speed. There’s an abundance of these gals around and I’m always dodging them when I’m walking or riding my bike.

Piñon shoots and cones 6_22

Our piñon trees are lousy with pine cones and new shoots. Glad to see these old trees are hanging on despite the drought.

Sunset and cloud medley 5_27 – 6_3_22

Posted on June 3, 2022 by Jabo

A shot of a rare Kelvin-Helmholtz cloud, a waxing Moon sunset, two timelapse sunsets, a timelapse of virga and today’s moisture timelapse (before the impending drying trend). And all because I didn’t feel like making separate posts. Enjoy!

Memorial Day 2022

Posted on May 30, 2022 by Jabo

Dad conducting a class at the Naval base in Port Huenemie, CA, circa 1953. After his stint in the South Pacific during WWII, Dad was an instructor during the Korean War. While we celebrate those who gave their lives, don’t forget those who served in those roles less acknowledged but no less important.

A collection of Republicans (and a couple of Democrats) who will be very, very concerned about this latest, tragic mass shooting of school children. Click photos for details.

Sunsets 5_19_22

A few sunsets from last week. More enjoyable now that the smoke from the Cerro Pelado fire in the Jemez Mt.s is dissipating. Fingers crossed for rain tomorrow.

Sunset and smoke 5_15_22

Posted on May 19, 2022 by Jabo

I realized I hadn’t got around to posting the smoke and sunset shots from the night of the eclipse. Lots of smoke columns that day and a very smoky evening.
