Powerful Bighorn Sheep, A Petroglyph, And More. 10-23-2024
Greetings from San Cristobal, NM. This week, Bighorn sheep in the Wild Rivers Recreation Area, along with some random mages from the last few weeks. Autumn colors have been stunning this year, and I’ve been busy on photo tours with great photographers/clients. Now it’s time to settle in, light the fires, and enjoy the remaining colors and exceptional light around us.
These bighorn sheep in the Wild Rivers Recreation Area were head-butting each other. When I pulled up they stopped. The dogs had never seen anything like it.
Avanyu. A water serpent petroglyph along the Rio Grande south of Taos.
The fall colors keep on giving in the woods near Hopewell Lake where I spent seven days this month.
That cottonwood tree in last weekend’s storm in Arroyo Hondo!
I was surprised to see these hardy plants thriving in the colder temperatures. It was the only group of this plant, that I spotted on my two-mile walk with the dogs.
I took a short drive on the night that nearly everyone in the northern hemisphere could see the aurora borealis. This was the view I had from the foothills behind our house. I used an iPhone and stitched six images together. The next evening I was prepared with a camera and tripod but the northern lights weren’t visible.
As always, thank you for looking. Have a great week where you are. G
