Quick picnic on the Pecos 5_30_25

Posted on June 4, 2025 by Jabo

Drove up above the Village of Pecos to investigate but decided to have lunch along our favorite river, the Pecos. Lots of mayflies and larger winged insects are out for the Spring, so the fish are biting and the fishermen are catching! While our spot was very nice, there was an excess of trash along other banks that we tried to clean up a little. : (

Clouds, storm and small funnel cloud 5_25_25

Posted on May 30, 2025 by Jabo

While photographing some nice cumulus congestus storm clouds, I noticed a small funnel cloud had developed along the edge of the storm clouds. We can get tornadoes but they are extremely rare and never very large. We do get quite a few dust devils that re-arrange the outdoor furniture and leave a layer of dust if the windows are open.

Spring has sprung (2025 version)

Posted on May 28, 2025 by Jabo

The recent rains have helped green things up considerably. Our irises are now in full bloom and the wildlife (like thrashers, scales quail and fence lizards) are up and about.

Nice flowering cloud at sunset probably signifying the end of the stormy weather.

Stormy Monday

Posted on May 7, 2025 by Jabo

Three days of hard rain and hail have yielded about 5″ of rain (which is a little under half of what we usually get for the year). Clouds billowed up on the first day and then darkened and opened up with rain. Then a loud hailstorm lasted for an hour. Glad to get the moisture

It’s a Bluebird, it’s a plane and yes… it’s our first hummingbird of the year!

Posted on April 27, 2025 by Jabo

A little Black-chinned Hummingbird is the first one I’ve spotted at the feeder this year. He was buzzing about and flying his territorial dive-bombing but I wasn’t able to get a photo of him until now. The bluebirds and scaled quails are also starting to appear… so Spring has sprung!

Galisteo Basin and South Pasture hikes

Posted on April 25, 2025 by Jabo

A combination of shots taken early in April and again this last Thursday (4/24). Our first Galisteo hike was too durn cold so we went up to Pecos for our picnic. Yesterday we went back to the Galisteo Basin and had a nice hike around the boulders there.

Birthday snowstorm

Posted on April 20, 2025 by Jabo

Thanks to all of you who sent along birthday wishes! We decided to stay in and watch the snow fall which are two of my favorite activities. By noon this Easter day, everything has melted away.
