Bosque in Autumn: Birthdays with Friends
Tim and I share a birthday. For years we have done something on that day. Yesterday was no exception. This year we opted for a quiet day in the bosque and along the banks of the Rio Grande. It was a spectacular, cloudless afternoon. We saw a lot of crows, some geese, and a couple of cranes. Over the next couple of weeks many more cranes will be arriving. Yesterday, above all, colors took center stage.

Silver, one of the Price cats, seemed to be watching for his people’s return. As you can see, Tim had cameras with him.

Finally, thank you for visiting and sharing the beauty of the high desert in October. 🙂
Susan,
Thanks for sharing. This has been an awesome, gradually changing Fall Season. I have so enjoyed the color and bright sunshine through the trees this year. It’s one of the things that makes Fall in NM, so splendid!
Hi, Barbara. I agree completely! Albuquerque is the only place I have lived where Autumn is my favorite season; elsewhere it has been Spring. Thank you for coming by!
Happy Birthday, Susan and Tim! Beautiful photos of the bosque.
