Meet and greet













Wade through darkness gloom
Owls call, hoots fall with the rain
Soaked by storm’s soft tears

Someone left the Jake out in the rain again
When Jake and I got home from our walk in the rain last night, the rain gauge showed 1.75 inches for the month. When I left for my walk at 5:25 this morning, the rain gauge showed 1.84 inches. When I got home at 7:00 it showed 2.0 inches. The rain gauge currently shows 2.71 inches of rain for September. It’s been several years since we received that much rain in one month. It’s supposed to rain Thursday and Friday, also. It seems Super El Niño may have finally arrived.

Storm clouds produced no rain even though I left my clean car out as bait.

The Rio Grande is flowing high and fast.
This House Finch was really red in the harsh morning sun.

Walter gave me Round eyes this morning.

Willa was sleepy


Nora was sleeping this morning, as well. Osric was nowhere to be seen.

Turkey Vulture

Willa was still sleeping in the evening. Walter ducked down in the nest.

Osric was on a gate waiting for Nore to give him a shopping list.

Not only are the Alpacas shaved, wet, and cold, but the flies are also bothering them.

Our guard hummingbird followed us down to see the owls.

How many flies do flycatchers catch when flycatchers are catching flies? That is a good 17-syllable question. However, I couldn’t get a Timku out of the question as it is phrased. I made a couple of gifs and wrote and recorded a silly song to go with the gifs, and made a music video instead of a Timku.



This lizard ran up ahead of me and stopped in a sliver of shade and looked at me. When it saw its reflection in the Bazooka, it came back toward me to challenge the lizard in the lens. I had to back up because it got too close for me to focus. It did push-ups for the challenge.
