Landings

Dawn

There are a lot of photos in this post, starting with the light changes throughout the day and ending with the Sandhill cranes preparing for landing and landing. Don’t forget to click on the galleries to see the photos enlarged and in a slideshow.

Dramatic Light

Color changes on the Sandias at sunset.

I got a quick snap of the crescent moon before the clouds swallowed her.

I was hoping for a shot of the crescent moon in the Tangle Heart Tree, but the clouds had swallowed the moon.

More drama near darkness.

Black lace trees in the yellow afterglow at dusk.

Cranes preparing to land under a fiery sky.

Wile E. Coyote has a hangdog look in the first photo when he was on the ditch by our gate. He crossed the Clearwater ditch, ran up onto the top of the levee near where I was, and looked a little less hangdog.

Cold Moon Rising

Hey, Spunk. I’ve been watching Marble play with her tail for the past 20 minutes. She’s quite silly.

Hey, Paparazzo! What’s sillier is that you stood there watching Marble play with her tail for 20 minutes. Hahahahahaha! Stupid Paparazzo!
