Mid-morning thunderstorm brewing in New Mexico, as strong and vibrant mesquite trees wait for a drink.
When I was visiting Portland, ME a few years ago, I noticed the decorative & colorful doors in a neighborhood; I've always liked doors as a 1st "hello" statement to a home. Here are a few of the ones I saw...
The perfect way to draw attention to a step in a store. If you miss this, you really need to reassess your ability to move around in public! 😊
Australian Blue Heelers are my favorite dog breed, I had different ones when raising cattle on the far Northern Plains. I missed them so much I collected some photos a few years ago when social media was more 'social'. Here are just a couple of my favorites:
For MAGAts who can actually read, & those with short memories, to recall the pure treason of trump in his first term read especially from chapter 20 or so and beyond of this great book "The Mission" by Tim Weiner. No doubt trump is eligible for ultimate punishment as a traitor for his Russian BS.
From the Far Side - a greenhead duck naturally, probably flew over a stinking green pond. 😂
Bright flowers blooming even in hot summer sunshine. But they don’t last long.
Cat behind reflecting window, wondering why this human is wandering around outside in 98° heat.
Old photo of flowers for a bright Sunday morning, taken somewhere in Houston years ago.

🧪 🔭 A sane voice in an insane world, especially in an increasingly dopey and credulous USA... "Take Me To Your Leader". Neil deGrasse Tyson
Bob the Roadrunner and I were admiring the morning blossoms…
Finally saw the "big dog" roadrunner instead of just the juvenile or female where I live. He has no name, not fair to just call him "Roadrunner". I shall call him Bob. Bob Roadrunner.
At least a bunny was calm and trusting this evening. He hasn’t read the evening news yet. 🤣
For anyone looking for a comparison in US history to trump's insanity, read David Halberstam's fantastic book about the Korean War and the mental arrogance & collapse of General MacArthur, who caused the needless deaths of so many US troops. One of the most well-written books I've ever read.
Yellow pollen/leaves on one tree and beautiful light green spring leaves on others. Spring in Las Cruces. Hopefully, my knee issue will completely resolve itself soon & I’ll be back on more hiking trails.
I was cleaning out recent phone pics, but kept this one from a little over a week ago as a reminder that dusty air in the spring in NM isn’t a constant! It can just seem so some days.
Some of the NoKings crowd in Las Cruces. Far more people than what the video shows, passing cars continuously honking in support. A strong and determined energy.
