Dawn is getting darker







Dawn
Our walk at dawn, a sniff and pee for Jake, took much longer than normal this morning because of colors, critters, and a different route home that introduced Jake to an overwhelming variety of new smells and tumbleweeds to pee on.

Daddy Owl


Geese


A coyote following us




We had to stop and play with our Three Amigos


Intense oranges at dawn

A rather gray sunset

Freezing temperatures and a higher river level produced more fog this morning.

A more colorful dawn
While Jake and I were out walking in freezing temperatures at daybreak, the cats were still asleep on the bed when we got back before sunrise. They were still sleeping in after sunrise.

Marble says one of many advantages she has over being a dog is that she can sleep in while the dog and stupid paparazzo have to go on a walk in the freezing cold.

Since we are always charging our various devices, Spunk felt a need to charge his tail.

Pre-dawn

Venus



Tuumbleweeds hardened
Walking levees at twilight
Tickles Jake’s fancy


Dawn

Puddles on the paths

Still dawn

Almost sunset
With the rains comes the need to repair the culvert that we use to drive over the drainage ditch. I went into my one-man chain gang mode and filled in the holes caused by the rainwater ponding on the culvert. I paused to take a few photos as the sun was setting.

Dawn is a little darker every morning. Soon it will be nighttime, awaiting dawn. Venus shines on the right, above the clouds.

Clouds consumed the Sandias at Dawn

It’s been wet enough to get some fungus among us!

¡Quatro Amigos!

Cottonwoods starting to change

A dark and cloudy dawn persisted throughout the day.
Spunk: “I believe ‘il fungo tra noi è il paprazzo!'”

Started the day with some purple rain

Which turned the river red
A dark, rainy day required extra light and a bird

Loki napped during a mid-morning rain shower


Dark, cloudy and rainy all day

I’m not giving you two pennies for your thoughts about il paparazzo, loki and Silver
Mirroring

Belafonte giving il paprazzo the beak
Jake was happy to lick whipped cream off the beater

Silver captivated by The Tale Of Princess Fatima, Warrior Woman.
