Night Watch, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, San Antonio NM, October 31, 2012
I'm back
At least I think so. I left Red Rock on October 16th with no interest in continuing this daily journal of my winter travels and decided to drop it. But then this week I stopped back at San Antonio NM and the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge for the first time in a couple of years and find I'm out taking pictures of those magnificent Sandhill Cranes again and I want to share some. So I will, at least for a while. We'll see how it goes.

The Trespasser's Eyeshine
She put the butt end of the flashlight against her forehead, just above the space between her eyebrows. It was something she'd learned long ago about seeing at night. A light shined from there would reveal nothing of herself to a trespasser, and from that spot on her forehead a beam would go straight to the retinas and return to her own eyes the characteristic color of the trespasser's eyeshine. If it had eyes, of course, and if they were looking at her directly.
