After the rain last night, I headed south on the levee for my early morning walk to avoid the muddy section of the levee on my usual walk northward.

“What do you mean, say I look like a dork!”
“Not only do you look like a dork! You look like a dorky duck!”
“Well! I never! Come on, Donald, we don’t have to listen to this lowly teenager insult us!”
“That’s obvious, given they have no ducklings!”

While I was looking for some old photos for Tristan, I came across three of the weird sign photos I took when I was studying Geography and Photography at the university.
Me driving a tractor before I learned to walk
When I tell people I learned to drive before I learned to walk, they think I’m bat guano crazy and full of kitty kaka.
Our morning walk started with a beautiful crescent moon peeking through the clouds.
Clouds capped the Sandias.
Lots of cranes huddled together at dawn
The beavers were up early and splashing a warning that there was a dangerous paparazzo with a big yellow dog standing near the edge of the water.
A Bosque Bunny was up early, also.
Sunrise
Kitties: “It’s too early and too cold for you to be pestering us, pesky Paparazzo!”
Don’t you think it’s a little early to be hitting the catnip, Silver?
Spunk: “What are you looking at me for? Jake did it!”
Jake: “I didn’t do it! I swear! I’m telling you the truth. You know Spunk is lying. He’s always trying to get me in trouble.”
It looks like you got caught in the mosquito net again, Jake.
Sunset
The morning clouds left a dusting of snow on the crest.

Silver Mary Elephant: ” Caaaats! CaaAats! CAaAaAts!
A big blue fish treading water wants to bite on your fingers, but you want to take it with you and throw it on the grill…
And you see U Bunny’s body, sitting framed beneath the cactus. And her footprints make you follow to see what you can see…
And when your fingers try to catch her, she sticks you with the cactus, carving deep green ripples in the tissues of your mind.
