Sketches for 416 and New Mexico Photos

We went off to Albuquerque for the weekend.  It was a great time. Too much info for one blog.  I will finish up the sketches for Scavenger Hunt 416. http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1385647


Number 12, has two handles - Stationary bike with handles down by the seat to hold on.  Then your heart rate and calories are noted.
Number 3, nature - salvia plant, rocks and hummingbirds

Number 14, heavy - owl sculpture and rocks in Virginia's garden
Number 15, persons - substituting a sculpture with a little girl on a swing and a boy on the stump

I hadn't put a photo of the Angel Fire (AXX) airport in a while.

The sunflowers are amazing at the moment.

The Vietnam Memorial from across the road.



Our resident prairie dog.  You can see a chipmunk in the back on the last photo.  The chipmunk is much cuter!  Either way they are rodents.  Not pleasant.  The prairie dogs leave big holes and tunnels.  Dangerous when riding horseback.  Your horse can trip.  You can get stuck in a car as well if you are off road.

People think prairie dogs and chipmunks are cute, and I guess they are - until they get in your house and eat your food or tear up your field and your horse breaks a leg. On our hike to Williams Lake, a chipmunk came and ate a vanilla wafer out of my DIL's hand. She squealed like a girl when it took the cookie - making the GGs laugh. Mr T. did not like us giving his cookie away.

Destructive little varmints. I was amazed that they were protected in Lubbock. These here at the house are sure tame. Nothing from people here to eat, guess they like living in the wood pile.
