Hike on Trail 201.






Hike on Trail 201.






I love watching the creeks as the water bubbles and swirls on its way downstream. Here are some closer looks at the Winsor and Big Tesuque creeks from our last hike in the mountains.






A couple of critters spotted over the last week.




We get a head start on Memorial Day and hike up near the Santa Fe Ski basin.










Warning: not for the squeamish. Joan noticed a rather large bull snake under the junipers near our raised beds. We watched it searching around until it darted and we heard a squeal. It quickly rolled into a coil and we saw that a small furry was caught. It wasn’t long before lunch was over and the snake was back on the prowl.




As usual, I was photographing the evening’s sunset when this great horned owl flew into a nearby tree. We both sat for a long while watching the twilight colors until he rose up and silently flew away.
