What the Heck

Sue took so many neat photos along the way, what the heck... might as well share them.

Here's a real-life Eeyore.


A group of crows was trying to scare off a curious red-tailed hawk. The hawk responded by advancing to a forward position in a nearby tree, sending the crows into a tizzy.


Controlled burn. Scary since Los Alamos is still recovering from a massive uncontrolled burn in 2000. (Definitely check out the link.)


Frequent cackled cock-a-doodle-doos proceeded from the blunt beak of this sassy specimen.


In Hatch, NM, self-proclaimed Chili Capital of the World. We assumed the pup was the mayor.


No picture can capture it.


The curling river faaaar below is the Rio Grande. While it's named for its length rather than its breadth, it appears in this picture that I could step right over it, like it's a trickling stream. In fact, it's about 300 feet across! Fee fie foe fum!


PS
This is an early bird post. For the first time, we're trying out going to the gym in the morning. It's now 5:48, and we're heading to the gym momentarily. Still waiting on dryer part. Still off caffeine. Expecting another snow storm tomorrow; weatherman is talking 5-10 inches.

Hmmm. Going to the gym at 5:48am? Yeah, b/c what you two really need is to wake up EARLIER on a regular basis.

up before 6? I'm sorry, did you need to catch an international flight?

Ha! Well, D-Glas, you'll be happy to know the early rising was Sue's idea. Would you believe it?

Sandra, we've seen you at the gym a bunch of times. Want to meet us there at 6AM, Monday, Wednesday, Friday? Hee hee.

Actually, I like working out early in the morning, and used to go to the gym daily at 6am, but after getting a dog, I can't manage to both walk Doodles in the morning and get to the gym before work. Maybe you'll see me there one, day, but I'd have to get up at 5am to make it there by 6...
