Sunrise
I made a roundabout between Corrales and Rio Rancho while running errands in the late afternoon.
View of the Sandias from the border between Corrales and Rio Rancho.
Looking south from the border.
A partial rainbow was a pleasant surprise.
The base of the Monzanos covered with snow.
Black lace trees at sunset
Sunset
Moon got caught in black lace trees trying to shine through the clouds last night.
Dawn was quite colorful.
Sunrise was drab
Cottonball clouds at 9:00
Thick clouds at noon
Cranes at 3:00
Gray sunset at 5:00
No moon is seen through thick clouds over black lace trees tonight.

Sunset on Sandias
While taking the above photo of the Sandias in red, I heard a buzzing noise. I turned to see what it was and three paragliders were flying my way.
Moon and contrail at dusk
While I was photographing the moon and contrail, I heard an owl hooting close by. I investigated further and there was an owl perched on the edge of the nest I hung in Susan’s tree in August 2022. Hooteluja! Hooteluja! Hooooteluuuja!
It was dark, and I had to use 15x digital zoom on my phone’s camera, so I couldn’t tell if it was daddy owl. It could be one for the owlets from a few years ago out house shopping. Whichever owl it is, it’s a good sign to see an owl perched on the edge of the nest.

Daybreak!

Smokey Kitty is very sweet when the Paparazzo is not bugging him.
