Iceberg @ Dawn

No much left of this iceberg floating down the Rio Grande at dawn.

What looks like either a flycatcher or western bluebird hanging out above Mama Owl. I think it figured it’s less likely to become dinner above Mama than below Mama.

  1. Wow the night sky is absolutely gorgeous!
    An ice berg? I wonder if there is ice chunks still in our lake. It’s been pretty warm. Even fire season started ugh.
    I love the turtle!

    • A very good thing. When our office was downtown, the restaurant underneath us wasn’t having its grease trap cleaned. I forced the issue, and the grease trap cleaner unknowingly broke the inlet to the grease trap in the process of breaking up a greaseberg. Then the restaurant ran 900 gallons of grease under the building. Needless to say, the stench was sickening. Thanks, couriers.

  2. I spent way too much time trying to figure out what the iceberg looked like…..LOL…..man trying to stand up? Turtle? Anyway, great photos all…..

  3. Great photos. The Owls are back. That’s a good sign. You fooled me with the “iceberg”… I was wondering what the heck is happening out your way!

  4. That iceberg looks like a pile of foamy froth from something upstream. Looks like more of it around the snapping turtle.

    Not much of the waning crescent moon left now, Saturday is New Moon. That is a great shot of Jupiter with moons.

    University of New Mexico has its own ballon?
