Gee, I'm only up to November 2015; at this rate the retrospective is going to be as long as Tolstoy's "War and Peace"... Today, June 20, is the summer solstice, longest day of the year, and also the coincidence of that and the "strawberry moon" for the first time in 70 years. Though the full moon is supposed to be more of an amber color than strawberry...But there are big fires to the north and northeast of us, so the moon may be more of a fiery red here. Anyway, to continue chronologically where I left off --
DYC -- Damn Yellow Composites, which are numerous species of composite flowers that are yellow and difficult to tell apart from the field.
The kidlets of the Coues Deer Family. My, how they've grown in the past 8 months!
My first solar pillar; I've seen 2 more here since then.
The historical military convoy comes to Rodeo, New Mexico.
Portal's Postmistress Joan and her husband Chuck on the porch of the Portal Post Office; the building used to be the Portal Schoolhouse.
Dodie, Peter, and yours truly having conquered Silver Peak -- 4,000 feet in 4 miles.
October 30 -- The first snow of the season.
"You're all infidels!" Saddam Hussein hangs around the Portal Halloween Party.
Along the McCord Trail -- the outskirts of Portal is below, and the road to Paradise snakes off under Limestone Mountain.
From the top of the McCord Trail -- the San Simon Valley, and New Mexico's Peloncillo Mountains. If you know where to look, you can barely make out Rodeo, "New Mexico's Most Western Town", population 101.
Well, what did you expect?
