Last week John and I went for a hike in Guadalupe Mountains National Park in TX. We went to the Dog Canyon area and hiked the Tejas Trail. It's a very beautiful and extremely quiet part of the park. The sky was blue and you could see for miles. I took my camera and put it up to my binoculars to take this one picture. If you click on it and look closely, the snow covered mountain in the background is Ruidoso, over a 100 miles away!
We continue hiking up and as we rounded a bend, I spooked a large bird in a tree. It was a juvenile Golden Eagle. Sadly, I didn't get a picture of the bird, but it was huge! We also saw quite a few mule deer, lots of cougar tracks, and bones. So the cougars are eating well this winter.
Most of the trail was dry, although a few spots in the higher altitude still had snow or were muddy. I took a few pictures for you all...
Still rather chilly this morning. So no exciting plans for today. We'll be watching the Superbowl later - at least for a while.
Miss you all.
Love,
VAL & JOHN & the kitties.....
