Last weekend my
parents were in town visiting us and we took them down to the Bosque del Apache
Wildlife Refuge. This is a beautiful and
stunning preserve along the Rio Grande.
It’s about two hours south of Albuquerque near the town of
Soccorro. If you live in NM and haven’t
been here yet, you are missing out!
The Refuge hosts
thousands of migratory birds headed south for the winter. Some of them stay here all winter, some of
them keep going to Mexico. A lot of
volunteer work goes into keeping the Refuge going, check out the website for the Friends of the Bosque to learn more and to see some amazing pictures.
My pictures don’t do
the beauty of this place justice. The
way the sun hit the golden leaves and just lit them up was amazing! Birds flying in from all directions, I wish I
had a better camera to get some up close shots of the bigger birds. But, I think some of my pictures turned out
pretty good. For your pleasure:
Deer! We saw I think three different groups of
them.
Enjoying the view with
my parents.
I love how this shot
turned out! It almost looks like I photo
shopped color and black and white together.
The sun was hitting the trees just perfectly!
Thousands of snow
geese. I asked my husband to run through them so I could get a shot of them flying, but he wasn't game.
New Mexico really is
the land of enchantment, treasures like the Bosque seem to be all over the
place!
