A crescent moon, Venus, and a thin cloud cover resulted in color overload on this freezing cold morning.

Bowie was playing with Jake’s tail. Jake didn’t care. He was looking for a handout.

Doubled
Rio Grande at 5:30 a.m. this morning running about 4 feet higher than the night before.
We got a major thunderstorm at midnight last night that dumped almost 3/4 of an inch of rain. When I got up, the rain gauge showed double the amount of rain from when I went to bed. We now have 1.43 inches of rain for the month. I did another five-mile walk in the rain again this morning.
Clouds on the Sandias at dawn
The Rio Grande at 7:00 a.m. this morning up another 2 or more feet from 5:30 a.m.
The place where I stepped down to take the 5:30 a.m. photo was under water at 7:00 a.m.
Jake met me at the gate and got a short ride to my parking spot when I got home this afternoon.

Sunset
The river had gone down about 4 feet by dusk. The place I step down to take photos was no longer underwater, but too muddy to step on, unless you’re a dog.
Water was still flow the full width of the river at dusk.
Do You See What I see
Sunrise
The persistence of pareidolia. Left to right: Wolf’s head. Three faces above the wolf’s head. Head and shoulders of a bear lying on its back. Kitty in the sky. A person looking down on from the top. A long-eared hound running over a fox that’s lying on its back over Resa’s Wolf Tree, and a pig in the lower right (see my key at the end of the post).
