Early morning sky
Willy Nelson would be “On the road again!” Well! Here I am in a rut again.

Trail under tree or tree over trail?

Moon on the verge of fullness

I see critters in the clouds

Big Gulp


A lost soul, perhaps

The dark line on the opposite bank is the flash flood line, about 6 feet (two meters) above the current natural flow of the river.

Turtle tracks

The moon will be full tomorrow night, but we have not seen it the last few nights because of clouds.

Another Dawn

Speaking being out to lunch, I’m going to take a long lunch break from blogging. I’m tired, and I have been having so much trouble with WordPress over the past few months, I can’t deal with it anymore, and I have decided I really need to take a break.

Dawn at Beaver Point


The river dropped enough that I could wade across the shallow rapids just north of 4th of July Point onto the east side of the river.







A beaver crawled into the shallow rapids soon after I crossed, then disappeared under the water as a coyote watched.

Coyote was checking out something in the grass under the jetties.

Back on the west side of the river, looking northeast at the other side of the river I had been walking on.

Clouds rolled in when I got back home.

The Rio Grande is slowly drying up. I was able to wade across the shallow point above and walk out onto an island north of the beach.
