Ice 12_27_25

Posted on December 30, 2025 by Jabo

After a rainy Saturday and a below freezing evening, we woke up to some beautifully elegant ice crystals on our cars. Had to catch them before they vanished with the rising Sun!

This year’s card, a Christmas kitty, Solstice cheer found along the Rail Trail and our holiday lights. May these help brighten your holidays and may the next year bring glad tidings.

Bernardo, NM 12_11_25

Posted on December 13, 2025 by Jabo

A day trip to the Ladd Gorden Waterfowl Complex to see the sandhill cranes and snow geese. Not as many birds here this year as last year’s visit. Maybe due to the warmer weather.

Sunsets, snow, birds and the Cold Moon 12_4_25

Posted on December 4, 2025 by Jabo

Our warm dry weather held until the post-Thanksgiving sunset, then turned colder and delivered 2 inches of snow on Wednesday. The robins have been emptying the bird bath almost hourly and I spotted a rare red-winged blackbird at the feeder. Our old pumpkins were finally retired and tonight the Cold Moon rose over the Sangres.

Pueblo, Colorado trip 11_22_25

Posted on November 24, 2025 by Jabo

We traveled up to Pueblo, CO to attend the Division II playoff game between the University of Texas Permian Basin Falcons (#10) and the Colorado State University Pueblo Thunderwolves (#4). My nephew is the Assistant Head Coach for UTPB. The Falcons jumped off to a 17 – 0 first half and never looked back, winning the first playoff victory in team history. Very exciting game that both teams played well.

Next up is the Central Colorado Mountaineers in Gunnison, CO. Go Falcons!

Paseo del Bosque bike path 11_14_25

Posted on November 16, 2025 by Jabo

Caught the last of the Fall colors while riding on the Bosque bike trail that follows the Rio Grande in Albuquerque. Still a few cottonwoods with orange and yellow leaves. We also saw quite a few roadrunners darting across the trail. Stopped at the Nature Center to view the wetlands pond with the mallards, geese, egrets and turtles sunning themselves. Sadly, the pond near our starting point was bone dry, so no birds here.

Northern Lights 11_11_25

Not visible to the naked eye, I was able to capture the Northern Lights tonight using a long exposure on the camera. Pretty stunning and I’m glad to see them.

Lenticular clouds and sunset 11_8_25

Posted on November 9, 2025 by Jabo

Nice lenticular cloud (Joan snapped the one at sunrise) and a timelapse of the lenticular showing how rapid the air moves but how static the clouds are. Finally, an amazing sunset!
