Misty morning

Geese in the mist

Dawn

Cranes at sunset

Sunset




Twilight clouds

Green slime in all its glory. I adjusted my exposure by two stops to capture the color in the twilight.

The green slime gauntlet. I would certainly fall into the green slime if I tried to walk across this mess in the darkness.


Closer to what I actually saw at 6:26 a.m.

Doppel and Glenda were still sleeping when I got back from my walk.

Late afternoon

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.

Tiny toadlets on the riverbed at sunset
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.

Sunset

Venus above Jupiter

Doppel in the dark

The smaller owl was out of the tree on the ditchbank when Jake and I went on our early morning walk. Three coyotes were eyeing the owlet. I chased off the coyotes, ran home with Jake, grabbed a box, ran back, put the owl in the box, took it home, put it in the library, covered it and shut the door so the cats wouldn’t bother it. Luckily, Daddy Owl did not attack me, and Mama Owl was nowhere to be seen. I took the owlet to Animal Rescue in Albuquerque.

The three coyotes were playing on the ditch bank across the ditch from the owlet’s tree when Jake and I resumed our walk.

Venus made a brief appearance through the clouds.


Jupiter and the crescent moon.

Vato Kitty is convalescing at Laurie’s parents’ house after sustaining some serious wounds from fighting.





I showed some riders how to get to the river bed on their horses.


Jake trying to catch a little shade.

“Hey, Paparazzo! What did you do with that roadrunner you shot yesterday?”
“Look out! He’s Right behind you!”


“Talk to the tail! Stupid paparazzo!”
