Evening falls

After an afternoon rainstorm Jon picks up the basketball and is ready for some shots, as the sun begins to set.


A rainbow appears in the opposite direction from the setting sun. The crops in the picture are zuchinni.



Speaking of zuchinni, here is one of the two wheelbarrow hauls Colleen's daughter Kim got today.

As the day came to a close

This is Sara's guinea pig eating out of the dogs' dish.


As Jon was working on putting up a new basketball hoop, I kept an eye on the sun changing from yellow to pink to purple.

A few photos

Since I moved to New Mexico recently, I will be out taking pictures to see things close up. Today when Sara got home from school we took a walk.

There are three main kinds of trees on the property, but I can't tell one from the other. Help! Juniper, cedar, or pinon? Here and there I see a ponderosa pine, with which I am familiar, from having lived in Colorado the last 47 years.

Well let's start with some open pasture; but don't scratch your back on this cactus.


Don't forget the horses! Son Jon takes the cover off the hay, so they can get some nourishment.


I love sunflowers. Have you ever wondered why they hang out mostly along the roads? Well, sometimes around a pile of rocks.


More later.
