Storm sunset 10_23_25

Posted on October 23, 2025 by Jabo

Amazing cumulonimbus clouds developed above us at sunset this evening. Udder-like mammatus clouds grew until the lightning and short rains and then they were gone.

Sunset clouds, mountains and Comet Lemmon

Posted on October 22, 2025 by Jabo

Joan got a nice photo of the clouds at sunrise and I took some of the nearby mountains at sunset (they have an almost watercolor painting look to them). Also made a timelapse of the storms earlier this month. I tried to get a shot of the Comet Lemmon but it’s tiny and grainy. Oh well… I can try again in 1300 years!

Largest crowd yet. And lots of animal suits (I hear it’s called tactical frivolity).

Mucha Exhibit and Trains 9_17_25

Posted on September 30, 2025 by Jabo

The Vladem Contemporary Art Museum was featuring an exhibit of the Art Nouveau artist, Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939). Originally from Czechoslovakia and later working in Paris, he was a painter, illustrator and graphic artist who was widely regarded as a founder of the Art Nouveau movement. His work later drew the attention of the Nazis and he died in 1939 shortly after his arrest, imprisonment and release. His work was an inspiration for the psychedelic art of the 60’s and for Manga and Comic art of today.

On the way to the museum, I watched the local Roadrunner leave the station and later saw the Sky Railway train pass through the neighborhood.

Wet weather moved in last week and brought interesting clouds along with almost 2 inches of rain. So far, it’s been a very wet Fall this year.

Coyote sunset 9_24_25

Posted on September 25, 2025 by Jabo

I was hanging out watching the sunset when two young coyotes came bounding by. Each one stopped and posed for me before bounding off again. Heard them howling later in the evening.

September hodge podge o’ nature

Posted on September 18, 2025 by Jabo

There’s been an explosion of yellow in the greenbelts due to the blooming Cowpen Daisies and we had a nice rainbow after a nicer rain. Also including some garden flowers and bird visitors along with Tarantulas we spotted on two separate walks. It’s that time of year when they begin their march to who-knows-where! The nights are getting nippy so Fall is fast approaching.

Pecos 9_9_25

Posted on September 13, 2025 by Jabo

A rainy muddy visit to Panchuela Creek led us to drive up the road to Jack’s Creek where we enjoyed sunshine for the rest of the day. There was a nice view of the clouds drifting over East Pecos Baldy from out picnic spot and plenty of magpies and a coyote rounded out our visit.
