Just when I thought it was safe to go on a walk without the distractions of clouds, coyotes, moon and cranes, they all happen.
Dawn
Clouds gone wild
This is not Wile E. Coyote. We ran into each other on the bridge over the Clearwater Ditch. I think this coyote is a female. Maybe Wile E. Coyote’s girlfriend. She is afraid of me, and says “Leave me be Sam I am! I don’t want your Paparazzo spam!”
This is Wile E. Coyote. He was standing on the levee watching me cross the bridge.
Wile E. Coyote followed me into the bosque.
Wile E. Coyote is a male. In this series he walks toward a pile of coyote crap, stops, lifts his leg to pee on it, then continues on his way.
With all the thin clouds hanging around, the Sandias turned a brilliant red tonight.
I thought my latest song, Dick Meets Jane, would be good for Valentine’s Day. Lyrics are at the end of the post.
I have to admit, I hated Valentine’s Day and the “Dick and Jane” books when I was a kid. Valentine’s Day was humiliating, and the “Dick and Jane” books represented a culture that was polar opposite of mine. Something I read triggered the lyrics for the song quite a while ago. With Valentine’s Day approaching, I decided to put them to music.
Dawn
Crescent Moon in the Tangle Heart Tree.
First beaver sighting of 2024
Can you find the pTerodactyl?
Canadian Geese landing in the Rio Grande.
Kissy cranes
Déjà vu all over again!
It looks like the pTer is missing some feathers on his wing. Or perhaps he was given the “Black Spot” by the other pTerodactyls à la “Treasure Island.”
Jupiter and the crescent moon
Tangle heart tree and crescent moon.
Dick Meets Jane By Timothy Price
[Verse 1] I was reading on the trolley when I looked up to see A Goddess of a woman standing right next to me I stood and kindly offered her my seat She blushed as she sat, and I tried not to stare Inviting were her amber eyes, and her smile was so sweet Was it our destiny that we should meet?
[Chorus] Oh Lord, must you do this to me? You temp me with this lovely Lass Don’t you know that I am just way too plain Am I another player in her game?
[Verse 2] We got off at the same stop “Thanks for giving me your seat My name is Jane. Who are you? May I ask?” “So nice to meet you, Jane. Funny, you should ask. My name is Richard, but people call me Dick!” “Dick and Jane!” We both laughed “Are we like the storybook?” We joined hands and skipped along She sang an unfamiliar song
[Chorus] Oh Lord, must you do this to me? You temp me with this lovely Lass She’s a beauty and so divine Is this an act? Will she be mine?
[Bridge] We ducked into a Starbucks Espressos straight-up and black “May I have your number, Dick?” “I’m free can you take me out?” YES! “Yes! You’re a dream come true.”
[Outro] We dated, and we courted. We fell in love, I proposed As Dick and Jane, we got married. Two together apropos We are like a storybook. Lives perfectly aligned Together, we live in bliss, Happily and so divine
[Chorus] Oh Lord, I’m happy you did this to me Tempted with this lovely Lass Now that all my prayers are answered We are living our dream at last
Lyrics and Music by Timothy Price. Vocals by Teagan Riordain Geneviene.
Another year has passed, and the Wolf Moon is on the rise again as the new year begins. I wrote and recorded Wolf Is In The Winter Moon (above) to celebrate the 2024 Wolf Moon. To spare you my bloody awful voice, Teagan Riordain Geneviene @ Teagan’s Books gracious sang, lending her beautiful, smokey and slightly haunting voice to the song. Thank you so much, Teagan. I really appreciate your hard work on recording the vocals. Teagan’s voice is perfect for the song. She had the idea to add the howls underneath the chorus — a brilliant addition. You can find the lyrics at the end of the post.
We say two pTerodactyls flying over the Rio Grande tonight. This one turned around and flew close. I assume he wanted to be included in the celebration of the Wolf Moon.

Wolf Is In The Winter Moon By Timothy Price
[Verse] World of demons manifold and so robust They are possessed and driven by an insatiable lust For blood and power, their egos must be fed Innocent souls of the quick and of the dead Wolf’s in the Winter Moon that’s on the rise again Sheds light on the darkness of a cold and cruel world
[Bridge] Wolf and Moon together work in perfect harmony Wolf and Moon together work to set our spirits free
[Chorus] Wolves howl with praises and glory Wolves howl with praises and glory Wolves howl with praises and glory of the Winter Moon
Wolves howl with praises and glory Wolves howl with praises and glory Wolves howl with praises to bring an end to winter’s gloom
[Verse] Wolf is in the Winter Moon that’s on the rise again Shines its light on darkness as the year begins
[Bridge] Wolf and Moon together work in perfect harmony Wolf and Moon together work to set our spirits free
[Chorus] Wolves howl with praises and glory Wolves howl with praises and glory Wolves howl with praises and glory of the Winter Moon
Wolves howl with praises and glory Wolves howl with praises and glory Wolves howl with praises to bring an end to winter’s gloom
[Outro] Wolves howl with praises and glory of the Winter Moon Wolves howl with praises to bring an end to winter’s gloom
