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

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.

Best shot I could get with all the clouds and smoke.

Birds, flowers and more smoke…

Posted on May 15, 2022 by Jabo

More smoke billowing over the mountains. Also… our first Iris bloom for 2022 and a shot of a passing Raven. Finally, another timelapse of the pyrocumulus (or flammagenitus cumulus) clouds from Casa Jabo.

Sunset 5_12_22

In a nice break from the smoke and wildfires, the view of the Jemez Mt.s was clear and there were enough clouds to have a pleasant sunset.

Fire is getting a bit too close 5_10_22.

Posted on May 11, 2022 by Jabo

Noticed clouds sprouting over the Sangres this afternoon. A flare up somewhere on the West side of the Hermit Creek Fire. Gone by sunset but still unsettling. This fire is now spreading North at a pretty good clip. Thankfully it hasn’t moved into the Pecos Wilderness.

Another smoky sunset 5_6_22

Posted on May 6, 2022 by Jabo

Sunset over the Jemez with smoke from the Cerro Pelado fire. Smoke has been awful but we get periods of relief when the winds shift.

Tomorrow… we’re predicted to get “historic” winds that will last for the next 5 to 7 days. Gusts up to 60 mph. So this is probably the last night I’ll be out taking pictures for a bit.

To help those affected by the Hermit Peak Fire , https://www.nmhu.edu/hermit/ is a good place to start.

Bull snake

Posted on May 3, 2022 by Jabo

Our first bull snake of the season and he was about a four footer. He was hiding under our trash bin where I unwittingly was pounding down all the tumbleweeds we collected. He looked pretty dazed but luckily he survived and went off to find more rodents.
