Since we are in the middle of winter, and here where there is no snow to beautify the season, I thought to picture what there is to look forward to.

One morning I went out to feed the horses and found a baby Rock Squirrel trapped in a feed bucket. I freed him and he scampered off to join his family.

I've always loved this shot I spotted when I turned after taking some typical Fall foliage shots on the other side of the road. In the Sacramento Mountains in southern New Mexico.

Bo is recovering from surgery last week. So, he's in the inflatable donut collar for another week. Actually, he seems to rather enjoy having a pillow that goes with him.
