I made sure I went out to the river and got the sunset on Sunday. Now that we are back on standard time, it will be dark before I leave the office during the week.

Halloween Landscapes
This year, we are going to do the same things we always do on Halloween: get up, play with the kitties and birds, go to work and school, take some photos, come home, play with the kitties and birds, study, process photos, post a blog, check out other blogs and things on the web, go to bed.
Fall Sunset
Another evening of the beautiful light at sunset along the Rio Grande.

Much Ado About Nothing
While this storm reportedly dumped 1/2 inch of rain on the NE Heights Tuesday afternoon, and while it looked impressive from our yard, it turned out to be much ado about nothing as it dissipated before it got to us and we got no rain out of it.
Bungle in the Jungle
Our yard has gone from a parched desert in the beginning of July, when we had less than 9/10 for an inch of rain for the entire first half of 2013, to a colorful jungle since we have received over 6 inches of rain since the beginning of July. I took the photos just after sunrise, before I spent the day pulling morning glories off of rose bushes and other plants, clearing paths, laying cardboard on the paths and spreading mulch on the cardboard. It’s still a jungle out there, but at least we don’t need a machete to cut our way from one end of the garden to the other.
Enchanting
As the sun hung low behind the cloud cover, slivers of light crawled across the dark shadows in the foreground.
Like Sirens Sweetly Singing
The “Land of Enchantment” — like the sirens whose sweet voices called to the sailors to be dashed against the rocks — called for us to sit out the rains, which produced too much water for my Mazda to get through.
Building Success
How many workers does it take to build success and plant a tree? Don’t forget to pray over your chicharrones.
Paws
Diné laid under the chaise lounge with her paws crossed, while beautiful thunderheads built up over the Sandias and floated by earlier in the afternoon. A vulture appeared to fly above the clouds as it circled over the river. The picturesque clouds turned into a dust storm in the late afternoon, but, alas, no rain.
