Bosque Del Apache Sidetracked...

So Max and I where in Albuquerque this past weekend and on the way home Max convinced me to take the more scenic route and drive by the Bosque Del Apache (I guess because he is a BIRD dog). It was a little windy but all and all it was a pretty nice day and this is one of the photos I took along the road.

Future Fruit...

So I was in the back yard a few weeks ago and noticed that there is a pomegranate tree in the neighbors back yard but a bunch of the branches hang over our fence so next year when the fruit is ready I will be picking and eating some yummy pomegranate (is it stealing if it is hanging on my side of the fence?). There are several pomegranates still hanging on the bare tree, all of them are broken like this one and it looks like maybe some birds have been taking some of the seeds from inside some of them.

February 5th Visit to the VLA...

I went up to Socorro this past weekend to visit with my friend Judy and to go out to the VLA to look at the site for a sundial exhibit they are working on. I am going to do some concept sketches for them and I wanted to take some photos of the site to work with. I took lots of photos and also took some panoramas and have put a couple of them together.

I am never disappointed with the vistas in New Mexico, this is such a beautiful state and how amazing to see so much technology (VLA) out in the middle of nothing almost, it is so amazing to see all these radio antennas stretched out along the plains of New Mexico. This truly is a "Land of Enchantment" and I am very glad to live and work in such an amazing place.

If you look closely you will notice quite a few extra antennas in this panorama; I really like the program I am using for these (it came with my camera) but if you are not careful when you select the images to stitch together it will find matches and almost seamlessly add them to the rest of the panorama. It looks like it was able to match up the mountain ranges in the distance. It still came out pretty cool, even if it is not correct.
