Pecos National Historic Park geology walk 7_2_21

Posted on July 2, 2021 by Jabo

Today, I went to one of the many guided walks at one of my favorite spots, the Pecos National Historic Park, the site of the Pecos Pueblo ruins. This tour covered the geology of the area and how that influenced these early American settlements. There was also a convoy of old restored military vehicles driving through to celebrate the 4th and the Old Santa Fe Trail!

Rain and sunset 6_29_21

Posted on June 30, 2021 by Jabo

So while the Pacific Northwest is suffering record heat, we are experiencing cool wet weather. We didn’t get a lot of inches of rain… but it lasted all day. And I think the video shows the atmospheric instability that’s caused our daylong cloudiness. Since we are in an exceptional drought… I say bring it on!

Some sunsets from the past few evenings. The last video shows a small virga cloudburst. Hopefully this indicates that rain is on its way… soon.

Santa Fe Fuego baseball 6_19_21

Posted on June 22, 2021 by Jabo

Part of the Pecos League, the Santa Fe Fuego play their home games at the Fort Marcy Ballpark and this evening faced the Tucson Sagueros for a 12 to 11 win. The league is independent of MLB, has been around in various iterations since 2011 and the 14 teams stretch from Garden City, Kansas to Wasco, CA. The players are unpaid (whenever a Fuego player hits a home run, they pass the hat for him) and the upcoming All-Star game here in Santa Fe will not be having a home run derby because baseballs are too expensive.

Happy Father’s Day!

Looking at this photo, you can see what kind of outdoorsman Dad was. I mean… who wears patent leather shoes and dress slacks to go fishing? Still, he managed to teach us boys how to fish and judging from this catch, did a pretty good job. Thanks Dad.

Cloud and sunset 6_15_21

Posted on June 17, 2021 by Jabo

An odd lone stratocumulus cloud from a previous evening dissipated into a wispy ghost of a cloud. And a nice though narrow sunset from a later evening.

Cloud medley for Labor Day weekend 2021

Posted on June 10, 2021 by Jabo

I’ve been meaning to post this collection of cloud formations from a few weeks back. Thanks to my membership in the Cloud Appreciation Society, I’m now able to mis-identify more clouds than before! Hopefully, I’m not too far off. The video is a collection of time lapse shots of clouds forming over the Sangres and rolling out over the Rio Grande Valley.
