Away game

Bear and I are parked at Auntie Kris and Uncle Hal’s. The accomodations are VERY nice and came with a wonderful dinner as well as good company and excellent dog walking.

This morning, even in the overcast – beautiful!

We walked as very light flurries fell to the frosted field.

The bit of light to the right is the house and the bit of white to the left is the motorhome.

Some of us got a little nosy…

Up the hill…

…and take the beardog shortcut to our “away” home.

***NOTE: 6:00 ish p.m. Bear and I returned to our house;home in the vicinity of 3 p.m.ish give or take and Fall Back ish…. A wonderful short trip and visit. A good shakedown trip for Bear and I, for Wild Thing (motorhome), for Bob-and caretakers of Bob… Bear and I are set to leave for parts South…weather permitting…mid-November!

Bosque Birdwatcher’s RV Park: San Antonio, NM

San Antonio, New Mexico is a small town, located just off I-25, south of Socorro by 10 miles, Albuquerque by 80 miles. It is home to Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge

Bosque del Apache is Spanish for “woods of the Apache,” and is rooted in the time when the Spanish observed Apaches routinely camped in the riverside forest. Since then the name has come to mean one of the most spectacular National Wildlife Refuges in North America. Here, tens of thousands of birds–including sandhill cranes, Arctic geese, and many kinds of ducks–gather each autumn and stay through the winter. Feeding snow geese erupt in explosions of wings when frightened by a stalking coyote, and at dusk, flight after flight of geese and cranes return to roost in the marshes.

In the summer Bosque del Apache lives its quiet, green life as an oasis in the arid lands that surround it. From the Bosque del Apache Wildlife website

From the main intersection in town, a small sign pointed the way to Bosque Birdwatcher’s RV Park, 3 miles south. The spot appeared to be a farm turned into RV spot with maybe 30 spaces that bordered the wildlife refuge.

This morning I saw what I think are Sandhill Cranes that live in the refuge.

Beautiful in the morning’s pink alpenglow.

Sunrise to the east was worth watching as well.

Let there be light

Genesis 1:14
And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years…”

To celebrate the first day of summer, the summer solstice, the separation of seasons, the longest day of the year – this sunrise photo from Western Wings RV Park, Roberts, ID, taken on June 13, 2009.
