Bear Sighting

Saturday evening July 30 - On the way to Lily Lake, Fran --- STOP THE CAR!!! BEAR !!!!
Clyde pulls over and I grab the camera.  Two minutes later, there are 5 cars stopped behind us.
A typical sight here - a "knot" of cars usually means - animals ahead.

Another Cloud - Taos

Sunday morning – another impressive cloud

We drove to Taos for lunch at El Monte and visiting the hotel art galleries.

On our way to Shakespeare’s Merry Wives of Windsor(tickets for that evening), we drove through the art village of Arroyo Seco.  Our favorite art piece was a Chevy truck

Angle Fire – in the 70’s and light rain in the evening

We attend - garden show and a tour of a house we all wish for – 3 ponds/waterfalls, two years to build

Impressive cloud  

Hummingbird - in a holding pattern for the feeder

But it’s not all play and no work for Larry Curly and Moe
