--

In #NewMexico, oil companies agreed to work with regulators to find a solution to the state’s more than 70,000 unplugged wells. After months of negotiations, the industry turned against the bill it helped shape.

‘Readers across Texas found an unusual message in the Sunday editions of their newspapers: A letter from Gov. #MichelleLujanGrisham, inviting the neighboring state's medical providers to come work in #NewMexico.

In addition to the state's natural beauty, the governor touted New Mexico's commitment to "protecting women's health and abortion access" as one reason to move out of Texas, where nearly all abortions are banned.’ https://drive.proton.me/urls/6CNQ8ZMNHC#4l7E4U1r64HV #AbortionAccess

This image features the Apache Plume, a desert shrub native to New Mexico. The plant has delicate flowers with soft, feathery plumes that feel like fine, wispy threads between your fingers. These plumes are light and airy, with a gentle pink hue that would evoke a sense of lightness and fragility. The leaves are small and slightly rough, providing a contrasting texture to the silky plumes. The overall impression is one of a light, delicate touch, like the brush of a feather in a gentle breeze, embodying the subtle beauty found in arid landscapes.

A Sandhill Crane is captured in a moment of calm, preening its feathers. The bird's body is covered in soft, smooth, silvery-gray feathers, while its head is crowned with a vivid red patch, which stands out in contrast. The crane's long neck is gently curved as it tends to its feathers, and the bird's sleek form is nestled against a backdrop of golden, dried grasses, evoking the warmth of a sunlit day. The overall feeling of the scene is one of quiet concentration and natural beauty.

We just took a little overnight trip through the spectacular colors of Autumn here in New Mexico a couple of days ago. Here is a tiny taste of what I will share ahead although not taken in NM, rather Utah for the taste. The most beautiful Fall colors I thinik I have ever seen here in NM.

The image captures a serene autumn scene along a forest path lined with tall aspen trees. The trees are dressed in golden-yellow leaves, creating a canopy that fills the sky with brilliant color. The forest floor and the path are covered with fallen leaves, forming a golden carpet that adds texture to the ground. The bark of the aspen trees is pale with dark markings, giving each trunk a unique, almost textured appearance. The sky peeks through the trees in shades of blue, contrasting with the vibrant yellows. The scene feels tranquil and warm, evoking the quiet beauty of a sun-drenched autumn afternoon in nature. The path seems inviting, as if leading deeper into the colorful grove.

The last of the monsoon storms over the mountains above Santa Fe, a dramatic contrast against the golden aspen leaves. This scene captures a fleeting moment where the brilliance of fall meets the last whispers of summer rains, all set against the winding road leading into the heart of the mountains. The season is short, we've already had snow.

Imagine standing on a quiet mountain road winding gently through a forest at the height of autumn. The air feels damp and cool, filled with the scent of wet earth and leaves, as dark clouds stretch across the sky above. The clouds are heavy, remnants of the last monsoon storm of the season, casting a deep shadow over the landscape.

On either side of the road, tall aspen trees stand in a blaze of color—brilliant yellows, rich golds, and fiery oranges. Their slender trunks, smooth and pale, rise straight up toward the stormy sky, contrasting sharply with the evergreen pines around them. The evergreens are darker, deep greens and nearly black in the dim light, creating a striking backdrop for the vivid autumn colors.

In the distance, the mountains roll gently upward, covered in dense forests that blend into misty blue. There’s a sense of transition here, as if the landscape itself is preparing to rest, the bright warmth of fall standing in quiet defiance against the cold that is soon to come. The winding road underfoot invites you forward, deeper into this fleeting, powerful moment where seasons meet.

Can you imagine this image on a very large metal or acrylic print? The colors turned out beautiful.

Just before Christmas, our annual trip to Bosque del Apache, NM. At dawn thousands of snow geese having just settled in across the water, all at once took to the air again, flying directly overy our heads. A matter of seconds it was over.

Tennessee’s Law on School Threats Ensnared Students Who Posed No Risks. Two States Passed Similar Laws.

Despite an outcry over increased arrests in Tennessee, two states — Georgia and New Mexico — followed its lead by passing laws that will crack down harder on hoax threats.

Man is kidnapped from a Walmart, by masked people wearing DHS-marked clothing in Bernalillo County #NewMexico. Video at https://bsky.app/profile/thejenniwren.teamlh.social/post/3lthldraxms2a. I believe this is a Walmart between #Albuquerque and #SantaFe. Tough to watch, but we must bear witness.

This sort of awfulness is happening in many states. It is why I’m so active in fighting fascism in mine. If you haven’t yet, I highly recommend getting involved in your local Indivisible group. Find it at https://indivisible.org/groups.

These kittens at the cafe were too young for us to visit (still in quarantine). But they seemed to be enjoying themselves, anyway. And I had a nice coffee to peacefully enjoy on the other side of the window.

One kitten is sitting on a windowsill, looking out through the blinds. Three others sleep in a pile below it inside a wicker globe.

This litter is named after bread products: Croissant, Beignet, Strudel, and Brioche

They found the Southwest U.S. – including Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Nevada, Colorado, Utah and California – has lost massive amounts of groundwater. That’s due to overpumping by cities and farmers & persistent drought
