Sunset during Monsoon Season
Sunset during monsoon season
Sunsets in the Desert Southwest are nearly always spectacular. Storms during monsoon season can be visually impressive. This is a storm rolling in over the Sandia Mountains last night around sunset; the thunder and rain arrived shortly after dark.

The Old San Ysidro Church in Corrales
Old San Ysidro Church, Corrales
This weekend I had the opportunity to visit this wonderful old church, which is now a national and state historic site. No longer used as a church, it is maintained by the Corrales Historical Society.
This is one of the finest surviving examples of mid-nineteenth century religious architecture in New Mexico, [...]
Fledgling Scrub Jays Grow Really Rapidly!
Last week I posted a photo of a young fledgling Western Scrub jay here. That photo was taken 6 days ago.
Now, the bird is still a fledgling, and is still awkward, and is still getting its adult feathers. But it has learned about peanuts, and just goes straight for them when they are [...]

The Greater Roadrunner

This one was sitting outside my bedroom window this morning, but I could not get a [...]

One Rose with Two Names
“Yoyo” is a sport of “Gizmo,” which is the bright orange blossom in this photo. Yoyo has a range of expression, from solid red (mainly in cooler weather) to red with “hand painted” orange stripes (mainly in mid-summer).
Yoyo was registered in 2003. In 2006, the same sport was registered in its solid red [...]
