Awwww... isn't he a sweetie? And I captured one of the hummingbirds on our patio.
For our anniversary weekend in August we went up to
New Mexico and stayed at the Inn on Broadway. We weren't the only guests.
I got a little bit of knitting done, here's the Daphne with two skeins down.
We spent Saturday wandering around the town, visiting various shops and galleries. We ate lunch at Vicky's and dinner at Diane's -- highly recommend both places for their spectacular food. On Sunday we drove out to the Gila Cliff Dwellings, which wasn't far as the crow flies, but took several hours on those twisty mountain roads (which is good practice for Ireland next May, according to Jo). Our hike had a little added excitement as we were caught in a downpour, which is spectacular from the cliffs as you can see.
We ate lunch at The Lodge, where they had a few hummingbirds
most of whom were not camera shy.
On the way home we stopped for a quick peek at Lake Roberts.
The following weekend we made our usual escape to Cloudcroft and our favorite coffee shop, Jamocha Bean, to sit in the garden
and visit with Kate.
Then we hiked through Lincoln Forest and found this little guy.
My first time seeing a horned toad. The birds were uncooperative for photographing as usual. We went back to Jamocha Bean in the afternoon and just hung out because we didn't feel like doing anything else and certainly didn't want to go back to EP just yet. Wait! Who's that posing by the fountain in the garden? Yes, Potomatomus has made an appearance in all her glory.
This is certainly a better shot of the colors, but now that I see it on the blog it isn't showing the detail quite as much as I had hoped. More knitting pictures tomorrow, including FOs!
