We’re camped in Albuquerque on this Easter Sunday. The dogs, Cabela and Tucker are with us relaxing in the RV. We will be here overnight and then headed out to Roswell, NM, tomorrow.
Our Easter dinner later today, will be Ham Steaks with Veggies. The Potted Easter Lily, below, is with us here in the RV. Click on the image to enlarge.
May this day find all the people of the world rejoicing in the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen!
Upon completion of our after-dinner walk today, we arrived back home to see (and hear) a curve billed thrasher atop the big saguaro cactus serenading the neighborhood with a spring mating song. Click on the image to enlarge.
During the morning walk-around, I noticed that there were several birds helping themselves to the goodies in the feeders out back. I took several pictures with my Canon Rebel SL1 camera. Those photos are below (clickable).
This is a sparrow in the mesquite tree waiting its turn for the feeders.
Here are a couple of sparrows and a finch on the round feeder.
And finally, a finch attending “Bird Church” in the big mesquite tree.
Hi – I’m Tucker and I will be posting once in a while here.
I am a (almost) three year old long-haired chihuahua mix and love this family.
Watch for my posts.
This is a throwback to the end of our May 2018 excursion to Northern California. We had been on the road for several weeks and upon returning to our home, this Cactus Wren posed on our big saguaro for this photo. Click on the image to enlarge.
We like to say when the autumnal equinox happens that we’re in “Second Spring.” The temperatures aren’t over 100 degrees like in the summertime, only reaching to 98 or 99. When the thermometer starts peaking at only in the 70’s, then Fall is finally here and second spring is over. That is likely to be around Halloween or after.
This time of year, we’re still seeing the Turkey Vultures (Buzzards to some) soaring overhead. I took this photo of a buzzard swooping low this morning.
Our “Devils Tongue” barrel cactus usually has its flower power in the fall. This is a close-up of one of the flowers surrounded by other flowers, flower buds and (below) cactus fruit ripening. Image courtesy of Cap’n Bob.
