A Grande Breakfast, Rio Grande River, Elephant Butte NM, April 1, 2012
Turned on
The Rio Grande River was turned on for the summer a couple weeks ago; spring is in the air. It's been in the 80's here the past week. Trees are leafing out and the beaver and cormorants are busy making their livings along the river.
