And by “dinosaurs,” I mean, “geese and cranes.” All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.(Click the image! Click it!) Have I mentioned how cool I think it is that birds are now considered to be dinosaurs? Two of the things I loved most as a kid turn out to be the same thing! Más [...] So yesterday Emma Dog and I went for a walk in a place we hadn’t been in a while. Too long. The Way Ahead…. When we got there, I was struck by the particular beauty of that place, that day, that time. One of the reasons I bought a house down here in Albuquerque’s North Valley was [...] So tonight my friend Joe and I had our customary Thursday dinner at Sadie’s, followed as usual by a four-mile walk along the bike path that runs by the Rio Grande Nature Center. During the course of which I laughed so loudly at something he said that I set off a whole pack of coyotes [...] So as Emma Dog and I were returning from a lovely walk along the ditch east of the Rio Grande Nature Center, about 5:45 this evening, I noticed she had stopped and was looking alertly through the fence that runs along the south side of the field. I followed her intent gaze, and there, not [...] It’s long been an axiom of my existence that any word or phrase can be used as a euphemism. But, c’mon, guys. This is making it too easy.
Disporting itself in public, no less! Spring has, at least here, at least for the present. Only a fool (and not this one) would state with any [...] So today Emma and I got an early start for a walk on Bear’s Ditch – before noon! Yay! It’s a beautiful autumn day. The trees have mostly turned gold. The grass in the RGNC field, which a giant noisy machine was mowing as we left, is still green. The sky was clear and painfully pure [...] That’s basically it. We went out to walk the bike path and trail that follow the clear ditch that run past the RGNC. It was hot; I was hoping to beat the days’ worst heat by getting out and back before it peaked around 5-6. I reckoned without our high desert sun, which even when [...] A bit of an experiment today – take that as yesterday, Friday, May 2nd, the day before this nominally posts. As I mentioned in our last thrilling episode (and, yes, I’m easily thrilled) I’ve got both Dragon NaturallySpeaking and my DVR up and running. So today when I took Emma Dog for a walk down by [...] I just got back from taking Emma on a walk on the ditch that leads along the eastern side of the RGNC wildfowl preserve. It was a beautiful Spring midday, mostly clear; the sun was hot and the breeze cool, a combination I really enjoy. Too bad we don’t get it too often. As [...] Or actually, just a pair of muskrats. They didn’t get up to anything … untoward during the short time I had them in view. After writing some more on the new Rogue Angel yarn, I gathered up Emma Dog and took her off to the Nature Center for an afternoon walk. It’s a perfect Albuquerque Spring [...] |
