Snow Geese - Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge -- New Mexico
Not enough light to get the incoming snow geese in focus, but the blurred shapes give a great sense of the movement. We saw wave after wave of these beautiful birds fly in and land directly in front of us, wait for a while and then fly off again. The Snow Goose has two color plumage morphs, white (snow) or gray/blue (blue), White-morph birds are white except for black wing tips, but blue-morph geese have bluish-grey plumage replacing the white except on the head, neck and tail tip. The immature blue phase is drab or slate-gray with little to no white on the head, neck, or belly. Both snow and blue phases have rose-red feet and legs, and pink bills with black tomia ("cutting edges"), giving them a black "grin patch." White- and blue-morph birds interbreed and the offspring may be of either morph.
The darker birds in back are sand hill cranes, who also flew off in small flocks after most of the snow geese had come and gone.
A life experience -- I hope you like the photograph.
Thanks for your visit -- I appreciate all of your support. I will be in Albuquerque for a few days and hope to be able to keep in contact. Have a great day whenever you see this!

I was a bit surprised to find this male Apache Jumping Spider, Phidippus apacheanus, so late in the autumn, but he was prowling the patch of prairie up the hill from our home in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA yesterday, October 20, 2018.

On June 9, 1995 the southbound Apache freight stopped at Snowflake Junction to run into Snowflake to service the customer there. Here they're just tying back onto the train with the 2 tank cars that they picked up. C420 #82 in the lead was built for the TC and also served on the L&N.
A hot chilli called Apache, it just cried out for googly eyes and I found the pigeon feather on the lawn. He was lying in this bowl, but popped up to say hello :)
Apache Farewell Flypast yesterday, caught doing what they do best in the Wye Valley, flying low! #ZJ221
Chevrolet Apache 31 '58
1958:First year for fleetside bed, significant redesign of front end. All light-duty trucks are now called "Apaches".
Truck has four headlights instead of the previous two and features a shorter, wider grille running the width of the front end. Parking lights are now in the grille instead of being in the front of the fender and the hood is similar to 1955/1956 models, but with a flat "valley" in the middle.

A quick break from stone castles and grey skies of Wales. Here is a bit of New Mexico blue sky and Apache plume grows in the high desert around Albuquerque. This plant can be found in abundance throughout the Chihuahuan desert, growing wild in arroyos between in elevations of 3000 to 8000 feet.
I've been trying to get a good photo of these delicate wispy seed heads for some time, and think this is getting closer.
