The river has finally brought the water table up, and there is water in the clear water ditch again.

Colorful dawn sans clouds

I normally stand on the island on the left for some of my early morning shots.

Four Point Sixty-Nine And Counting

Milk chocolate water filling the river at 5:30 a.m.

The rain gauge shows 4.69 inches of rain for the month as I type.  There is one more day in September. Will we make it to five inches of rain for the month? The last time Corrales received more than 4.50 inches of rain in a month was July and September 2013. According to the NOAA records, the Corrales gauge recorded its all-time 24-hour precipitation record of 1.78 inches on July 26, 2013.

The owl and I were the only ones out in the rain this morning.

No trace of the moon through the thick clouds.

The Rio Grande was flowing fast and high at 7:00 a.m.

Doppel happy to be inside, out of the rain.

Rain let up for a few minutes around 4:00 p.m.

Hunderdth Of An Inch

Do you see faces in the clouds?

Daddy Owl at dusk

Tried to capture the bats buzzing me, but they flew too fast to show up in the dusk photo.
