On my 5.5-mile walk Sunday morning, here’s what I encountered. At the top, a cottonwood against the fall sky.
-
- Although its name sounds like a peeping tom in Richmond, this Virginia creeper is beautiful in the fall.
-
- Although not native to New Mexico, pampas grass is a beautiful ornamental.
-
- This flood basin attracts ducks, geese, great blue herons, and redwing blackbirds.
-
- Sometimes there are hundreds of sandhill cranes in the 700-acre alfalfa farm I walk around.
-
- Although there’s only six days left in the irrigation season, the main ditch is still full.
-
- Eat any part of this datura, or jimsonweed plant and you’ll be hallucinating until you die.
-
- This witchgrass collects dew and is a little spooky around this time of year.
-
- Mums the word.
-
- Along the Rio Grande…
