We had a warm, sunny, slightly windy afternoon. The foliage along the Rio Grande is preparing for spring, creating beautiful layers of intense colors.












As I walked out to where I could see the sunset last night, I photographed the trees in the afterglow. When I got out by Tiffany’s tree, I turned around to see a blazing sky lit up by clouds glowing like embers, their flames bursting into the heavens.











Below is a closer shot of the owl in Teagan’s Tree. The owl flying over us as we walked towards it on the ditch bank. The owl landed in a tree behind me along the ditch bank. Two closeups of the owl.

While I was out in the bosque at sunset, I saw two owls in a cottonwood, and a pterodactyl (Great Blue Heron) in the Tangle-Heart Tree. I also photographed cranes against a colored sky, and two ducks in the dark.







Birds that flew overhead when I walked out to the river and back this afternoon.
