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.

Sunsets and time lapse, June 6th and 7th

Posted on June 8, 2021 by Jabo

Smoke from the fires in Southern Arizona and New Mexico is making its way up here. The clouds pictured isn’t smoke (except for the last shot); however, the sky gets a redder cast from the particulate. Sadly, the air is terrible to breathe in the morning when the smoke is close to the surface.

DDay

Posted on June 6, 2021 by Jabo

Today is the 77th anniversary Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of France on the beaches of Normandy. The view from the LST is probably one that Dad experienced on Bougainville less than a year earlier in the South Pacific. All those served and those who gave their lives… worked to defeat a fascist regime built on lies and hate.

Something to remember during our current days.

Big Tesuque Creek 6_3_21

Our regular pilgrimage up to the Ski Basin and hiking the Aspen Vista trail. I have an enormous number of photos from all the same spots on the trail… but it’s one of our favorite places to relax and enjoy the falling water. It’s nice to see the change from last year’s tent worm infestation that defoliated all the aspens! Also including a falling water stream relaxation video at no charge ! !

Memorial Day 2021

Posted on May 31, 2021 by Jabo

In the vast history of WWII, little is written about contribution of the United States Naval Reserve Waves. Mom enlisted after she graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1943. She then graduated from the Naval Midshipman’s School at Northhampton, MA as an Ensign and was assigned to the 12th Naval District in San Francisco, CA. Her job was to run messages between each department… she was even trained to use a pistol! Dad was her boss and they married soon after the end of the war.

This Memorial Day post is for all the women who served in the Waves, Wacs, as Nurses and others… who get little credit for the sacrifice and contributions they’ve made during wartime.
