Black-tailed jackrabbits at Piedras Marcadas

I went hiking at Piedras Marcadas Canyon again today and saw two jackrabbits.

They were just like this, with the black ear tips and black tails.

They would sit really still for a while before moving!

I often see people doing strange things in Albuquerque.

Today I saw two young men (maybe 18) walking on McMahon Boulevard with Burger King hats on their heads.

I saw an interesting piece by Luis Tapia at the art museum today.

Here's some info on him:

It is really true that because of its isolation until the 20th century, New Mexico is very unique in many ways!

Nice afternoon hike at Piedras Marcadas (marked rocks) Canyon

If you can believe it, this is just about 10 minutes from where I live. and free! Some people were walking dogs here. Very peaceful.

I saw this bird in the shrubs. He hesitated and then decided to cross the road very quickly!
