Sunset in the Park, Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo NM, November 14, 2011%
Nice
We do like these western sunsets.
See those yuccas in the foreground? That's where the pair of Curve-billed Thrashers were hanging out the other day. They stayed just long enough for me to grab my camera and get a bunch of shots before they went on about their business.
We do like those serendipitous moments too.
Night camp
Site 6 - Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo NM
- Verizon cell phone service - good signal
- Verizon EVDO service - very good signal and access speed ( I have to qualify this - during my January 2008 visit the signal and access speed was excellent - in January 2009 it was practically non-existent during the day and slow at night with unpredictable short periods of excellent access)

Roses
Out by the road on the far side of the house is a wild rose bush. It's mostly thorns. We never water it or cut it back. It just lives on its own. It makes tiny yellow roses that never relax. I think the buds know that opening up is the beginning of the end.
