White Sands Hot Air Balloons

Kent and I had our first Las Cruces outing today. We are settled enough into our new home to consider entertainments other than unpacking and we went to White Sands National Monument at dawn, having lured friends out of bed even earlier than their early hours to watch the launching of a convention of hot air balloons across the snow-like sands.

The pictures that follow are mine. Tomorrow I'll try to post those that Kent took.

Toward Sand Creek Falls, Wyoming

Soon in will be fall in Wyoming and we are taking some of our trips into the woods. A place we had never known before is the head of Sand Creek, where there are some falls and nice rocks in and near the water.

On the way there is an eagle's nest, but this year it doesn't contain an eagle.

The clouds were nice, as is almost always the case in Wyoming.

Kent rock hops coming back from the largest of the falls.

Arty rock pictures follow.
