 The Red Tail Hawks seem to be more prominent now in my area.  They are always around but it seems that when the Turkey Vultures are here, you don't see them as often.  Red Tails are fairly easy to identify in flight because of the bar on their wings.

 Happy Monday and happy new week and welcome to the last month of the year!  Wow, it's gone quick!  As I type this, the forecast for today is snow showers.  I am sure we won't have a picture taking snow, at least I hope not, I don't want any snow this week for various reasons.  Anyway, this is from a snow we had last February where I was able to capture a few good flakes.  This is a 10 image stack of at least 3 flakes stuck together.

 It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog!  Today's image goes back once again to the Cumbres & Toltec Rwy and my ride in late June.  I captured this image on one of the 14 times the train crosses the New Mexico and Colorado border.

 Today's image is from a sunrise about a couple of weeks ago that was producing some very vibrant colors and changing quickly as I drove to work.  I took this near the start of my drive and it was already starting to fade.  Amazing how fast it changes.

 It's Friday, TGIF!  Today's image is a bokeh filled one of some Autumn leaves I was able to capture this year.  These are from my Golden Rain tree.  The leaves seemed to fall fairly quickly this year and changed fairly late it seemed, maybe it was just because I have been very busy.  Anyway, sharing this image today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!

 It's our Thanksgiving day here is the US.  I have had this photo ready to go since April since I thought it fairly appropriate for the day.  I called these guys "The Gang" as they always seemed to be together and strutting their stuff for the ladies.  😁  I haven't seen any Turkeys around for a few weeks now.  I always wonder where they hang out in the winter.

 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  My flower for today is Stenosiphon. It's in the Evening Primrose family and usually blooms July through September.  I found this one in the second week of September.  In drought, this plant will drop it's leaves and conduct photosynthesis through the stem.  They can grow to 9 feet tall.
