I have been to New Mexico- but I think really just Sante Fe. I usually do national parks and I’m not sure how I missed White Sands so I’ll have to go back!
There are the badlands, Shiprock, and Chaco Canyon in northwestern NM. There’s Peco’s National Park SE of Santa Fe. We have 13 National Monuments in New Mexico, also. White Sands as you mentioned, and a lot of cool features in western NM around Silver City.
I’ll have to check it out next time I visit!
Beautiful, Tim. I keep forgetting to ask if you still see the Owl family.
That is so cool. I have never seen a hummer near my house. Ever. My mother used to have a bunch when she lived up north. Of course, if I had the proper flowers or a feeder, I might change the story 😉
We have lots of hummers, but only a couple of types in the valley.
And you are lucky enough to actually see them!
Beautiful birds and skies. An awful lot of towers.
A lovely set of photos, Tim. You are getting more clouds, and more colorful sunrises and sunsets, than we are now. The forecast is for hot and clear up here for the next two days.
All great shots Tim!
The dove is my fave. What a beauty!
Those towers don’t look like where you live. It looks like another planet…. a planet near the planet ANT-10, where Marina found the aliens.
I think the hummers can see themselves in the lens glass. They like to hover near me, but when I point the lens at them, they move to one side or the other and hover just out of view. It’s really annoying. Thanks, Brian.
I love the colors in that contrail photo!
Thanks, RN. We get some great colors out here. Have you been to New Mexico in your extensive travels?

No. They moved on for better hunting. Mama and Daddy owl will come back when the owlets can take care of themselves.
Ah, got it. Thanks for letting me know. I look forward to seeing them again.
Beautiful colours. Love those hummers!
I’m not sure if it was the same hummer, but they kept hovering in front of me teasing me. Thanks, Dale.

There are a lot of towers. Thanks, Roberta.

The thunderheads build up, but produce little rain. We having only received 0.13 inch of rain in July so far. Thanks, Lavinia.
Really great pictures Tim! boy nature delights… That picture of the towers is amazing.. Great lighting and the mountains shine!!
Thanks, Cindy.
always!!
💖💖
These are stunning shots. Truly. I can feel the heat of that sky.
It was hot yesterday. Thanks, Shey.
even here in never sunny Scotland it has been hot x
When we’re hot it’s hot.
That’s the only kind of hummer we like to see.
I agree. Read the new EV hummer has a very high carbon footprint. Most small gas cars are cleaner than that 9000-pound beast. Thanks, Couriers.
Those geese do seem to be flying crazily.
They were way out of control like stunt planes. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim. Does that type of behavior with geese happen often? I’ve never seen it.
First time I’ve seen it.
Sounds Hitchcockian . .
Indeed.
Even the towers live in harmony in your paradise, from sunrise to sunset!
Thanks, Marina.
Thanks for sharing your day!
You are welcome, Maj & Sher.
Great colors in all your pictures… especially the contrail!
Enjoy your day Tim!
Thanks, Nancy.
Nice photos💕🙂
All great shots Tim!

It’s a different world at 11K feet above sea level. We are a 5K feet above sea level. Thanks, Resa.
AH! Yes, a different world.
You managed to stick that first hummer shot and although it has small feet, that is no small feat.
