Coyote Winter Morning

Coyote winter morning in the fields, Taos NM. I was rooting through the archives today for another image and found this fellow staring back at me. There’s a hint of the last kill under it’s jaw. The eyes are always what grab me. Coyotes either stand and stare or take a rapid flight in the other direction. Can’t say I blame them taking off. Maybe a camera and a gun mean the same thing to them, shooting! Thanks for taking the time to stare back. G

Icicles Our Lady of Sorrows, Arroyo Hondo, NM

Icicles, Our Lady of Sorrows Church, Arroyo Hondo, NM. Nice drapery, apron, curtain of icicles around the  whole roof line and found on a drive around the block today. Most of the roads were clear. The Hondo/Seco road down the hill in to the valley not so much. Four wheel drive and low gear. This was the payoff. Thanks for looking. G

New Years Day Blizzard In El Prado

New Years Day blizzard in El Prado. There’s a 12,000 ft mountain back there in the clouds. New years day 2019 will live long in memory, at least where we live. There’s 20inches of snow on the roof and the driveway was fun to get out. I hope it’s warm where you are. G

Winter Lake, Red Willows, San Luis Valley

Winter lake and red willows in the San Luis Valley, southern Colorado. Made a half day trip here and beyond with friends yesterday. It turned out to be a beautiful winter wonderland of a day. That also includes driving home after dark in an absolute whiteout blizzard. Well… one does engender the other. Thanks for looking. G

Roof top Musicians, El Prado, NM

Roof top musicians, on the Mexican import store in El Prado, NM. It looked like a real party up there despite the snow accumulations. There’s more snow due tonight, so this party might get even more raucous by tomorrow if the reverie today is anything to go by! Stay warm and thanks for looking. G

Canyon Towhee Snow, San Cristobal

Canyon Towhee in the snowfall today in, San Cristobal, New Mexico. Stayed in all day and watched the flocks of jays, crows, doves, juncos and this Canyon Towhee who seemed to thoroughly enjoy being ‘out in it’ while occasionally dipping in to the feeder buried under the snow. Thanks for looking. G

Bright Moon Over The Sangres

Bright moon over the Sangre de Cristos, this evening. Try keeping me away from this. I did feed the dogs. Dinner can wait. Besides that, nothing else exists in this moment. Stay tuned for the solstice moon rise tomorrow. Thanks for looking. G
