“Hey good lookin’!”



Jake and I took out evening walk in the rain


Stars at twilight


Rio Grande still flowing from bank to bank

The north flood control arroyo I have to cross to photograph the green slime had floodwater flow bank to bank from the last heavy rain.

It looks like the dam I stood on to photograph the green slime washed out. It was too muddy to walk in the arroyo this morning to get a close look.

What evil thoughts have you, Spunk?

The Rio Grande had more water in it at 5:30 a.m. this morning
I walked my five miles in the rain again this morning. The rain gauge showed 0.61 inches of rain when I left, and 0.70 inches when I got back. It stopped raining as I finished my walk, and the rain gauge still shows 0.70 tonight. I thought the rain coming in from the west would make it to us, but it stopped short of delivering any rain tonight. We got some decent light shots while watching and waiting to see if the storm would rain on us.

Laurie’s first lightning shot









Although we didn’t get rain from the storm, I got some lightning photos out of it.

5:25 AM
After the rain last night, I headed south on the levee for my early morning walk to avoid the muddy section of the levee on my usual walk northward.

Doppel’s not too sure about having a Jake pointing at him.

Loki fell victim to sudden-onset cater mortis. Luckily, it was not catatonic for too long.

Glenda’s getting into the new fall fashion: if it falls on you, flaunt it!

Whaddya you mean this is a dawg bed?

The Rio Grande at 5:30 a.m. this morning


Doppel loves the pink tarantula

The Rio Grande at 7:30 p.m. this evening. !Milgro! There’s water!
The Conservancy released water from Abiquie Reservoir. Why now? I have no idea. It’s past the growing season, and most of the cottonwoods in the bosque are suffering or bare, possibly dead. The release of water might be due with the agreements between Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico. But it’s too little, too late for the farmers and the trees.

I’m flying to Germany tomorrow. Spunk helped me pack.

Beaver

A beaver swam in the shallows, while cranes were taking a break on their way north.

Beaver stopped in front of us to get a snack. He paid no attention to us.
