Rio Grande River

As you can see last January there was some flow in the river. Now it's almost completely dry, with most of what is flowing diverted into the irrigation canal at the dam. My guess is the dam at the large Elephant Butte Reservoir is closed. I saw a recent picture on the web of the Rio Grande taken upstream near Taos where the river is flowing full tilt.

Horsetail by Maggie Lake

A visit yesterday to The Berkshires Art Festival got a little expensive but I just couldn't resist - a gorgeous Maggie Lake pressed flower portrait, Horsetail.
