Spunk Art & Doves

Spunk Art I encountered at 4:30 in the morning.

Mama Dove is on a new clutch of eggs. I believe this is her fourth.

A Eurasian Collared-Dove noticed the paparazzo while getting a drink, and flew right after this shot.

Walk @ Sunrise

Jake and I went on a walk at sunrise

I was photographing this Downy Woodpecker as he worked his way around the power pole, making all kinds of noise. He flew as soon as he saw me.

Smoke From A Distant Fire

The Sandias and the City of Albuquerque covered by smoke from the Trout Fire in the southwesten part of the state near Silver City this morning.

It was a hot one. The high today was supposed to be 102º F (38.9º C), but on the street it was 117º F (47.2º C) according to my car’s thermometer that records the outside temperature.

I found new Spunk Art when I got home this afternoon.

Jake and I went out for a walk at golden hour. The afternoon breezes had cleared out the smoke that covered the Sandias this morning.

Cotton blowing in the breeze at golden hour.
