The release was Tuesday. Wednesday morning, the river was still very dry in Corrales, but the water had started flowing through Corrales by Wednesday evening. The interagency effort is being billed as a “scientific experiment.” I just read this statement about the release: “This one-time release will allow us to gather important data about how water flows through the river,” said Water Authority Board Chair Barbara Baca, adding it’s also meant to help vegetation and wildlife hit by the drought.” I have seen the river dry up many times over my lifetime. I think these folks should know how water flows through the river. It’s quite simple, really. It’s also way too late to help many of the cottonwoods that had leaves in the spring and now stand bare.
Spunk doesn’t like Doppel, and neither does Silver. At the moment, we have to keep them separated. It’s a bit of a problem, since Doppel would like to explore more of the house. Thanks, Dale.
Trouble, indeed. Spunk slipped into the bredroom the other day, jumped up on the bed and didn’t see Doppel at first. When Doppel stood up to great Spunk, Spunk went balistic. I grabbed Spunk. He as growning and hissing and ready to shred me for holding him back from attacking Doppel. I had Laurie open the bedroom door and I quickly tossed Spunk into the hall before he could scratch me. That situation called for advanced team cat hearding. If Laurie wasn’t there, I would have been shredded getting Spunk out of the room.
Cute kitty photo. I bet Brian has already been shopping for more Halloween props with your photos of the pumpkin igniting the itch for more decorations.
Beautiful!
And the other pics that aren’t Doppel look fab too!
Just kidding… I couldn’t resist.
Thanks for the beautiful shots Tim, and Thank you to you and Laurie for taking in Doppel.
Thinking about cats without homes is stressful. xx
He’s a happy kitty not having to battle wild critters and the elements. Thanks, Resa.

Is this water the release from Abiquiu that I was reading about?
Yes. The very water you were reading about. Thanks, Joe.
I never imagined the water would get there so fast…..
Speedy Gonzales agua.

And a reflective cat…
He is a doppelgänger after all. Thanks, Shey.
Lol
That last photo – fields toward sunset – gorgeous! They’re all wonderful, but that one really made me stop for a bit.
Thanks, derrycats.
Doppel seems to enjoy his new home…
He’s loving being out of the elements and not having to fight with the wildlife and stay clear of coyotes. Thanks, Herman.
Fantabulous shots. That last one… ouff!
Tell me, how does Spunk feel about being Doppled outta the paparazzo’s camera?
Well, if not for the farmers, at least the beavers and geese appreciate the late water rush!

Oh dear! Trouble in paradise until they figure it out…

Oh my goodness! Spunk! You are not allowed to hurt Tim! Even if you are in the presence of what is, at this time, a mortal enemy! Yowza…
Spunk thinks otherwise. He thinks I’m a great sparing partner.
Kinda impossible to convince him otherwise…
Everyone looks happy, with Doppler supervising.
At least some of the critters are happy. Thanks, Brad.
It’s good to see more water in your river!
It is. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Yay for water in the rivers.. and the joy of the critters and Micky so bright and cheery, Tim! xx
Thanks, Cindy.
The animals really do look happy. That is the weirdest Jack-O-lantern I’ve ever seen… LOL. But I think I like it. Hugs.
It’s really weird. It looks like a pumpkin Mouseketeer. Thanks, Teagan.
What beautiful skies! Dopple looks dashing posing like that
Doppel is dashing. Thanks, Becky.
Such beautiful photos. So happy Doppel is safe and loved.
Doppel is too. Thanks, Gigi.
Wow, great photos! But the last two are just spectacular.
It was a good night for dark colors. Thanks, Edward.
Cool! You’re very welcome.
A lucky little Doppel right there.
Thanks, Holly. He’s a happy kitty.
He’s a cutie!

I don’t know if a Mouseketeer jack-o’-lantern is ghoulish enough for Brian. Thanks, Brad.
I bet they are happy! Doppel is looking g pretty happy as well
Doppel is very happy. Especially to be inside during a vicious thunderstorm last night. Thanks, Julie.
Good on you Tim .. I’ve always hoped that Jimmy our feral boy would come indoors .. no such luck, he’s a scaredy cat!
Cats will be cats, especially feral cats.
