Went to Clovis, NM this past Saturday and took a quick hike at the Ned Houk Memorial Park. I hiked over to the Old Rail Boxcar and back from the last pavilion. Remnants of an old ranch.

Fui a Clovis, NM el sábado pasado y di una caminata rápida por el Parque Conmemorativo Ned Houk. Caminé hasta el antiguo vagón de ferrocarril y de regreso desde el último pabellón. Restos de un rancho antiguo.

Some more photos from Palo Duro Canyon State Park. This was last Saturday in the backcountry, along the equestrian trail overlooking the cottonwoods and their fall leaves.

Más fotos del Parque Estatal del Cañón Palo Duro. Esto fue el sábado pasado en la travesía, junto al sendero ecuestre con vistas a los álamos y sus hojas otoñales.

Just trying to catch up on sharing my photos folks. These were taken last Wednesday out at Buffalo Lake National Wildlife Refuge. I went out there thinking I could catch the Northern Lights on its second night but only thing I got was light pollution. Here I was, thinking wow!

Solo intentando ponerme al día con la publicación de mis fotos, gente. Las tomé el miércoles pasado en el Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre de Buffalo Lake. Fui pensando que podría ver la aurora boreal en su segunda noche, pero lo único que vi fue contaminación lumínica. ¡Y yo acá pensando: "¡Guau!"

Had the day off for Veterans Day and decided to get back out to Palo Duro Canyon State Park. I parked a little north of the Mesquite Campground and started hiking up the Cottonwood Trail, I took a little break, then connected to the Sunflower Trail, I continued on to the Juniper Riverside Trail until I reached Park Road 5, and I took the road back up to where I parked. I believe that was the first day of the Northern Lights display. Last year the same thing happened to me, I was at the canyon floor on the first day of the display and I missed it or maybe I didn’t stay long enough. Either way here’s a snapshot of my hike.

Tuve el día libre por el Día de los Veteranos y decidí volver al Parque Estatal del Cañón de Palo Duro. Me estacioné un poco al norte del campamento Mesquite y empecé a subir por el sendero Cottonwood. Hice un pequeño descanso y luego conecté con el sendero Sunflower. Continué por el sendero Juniper Riverside hasta llegar a la calle del parque número 5, y volví por la calle hasta donde me había estacionado. Creo que ese fue el primer día de la aurora boreal. El año pasado me pasó lo mismo: estaba en el fondo del cañón el primer día y me la perdí, o quizá no me quedé el tiempo suficiente. En cualquier caso, aquí les dejo un resumen de mi excursión.

The Sunday before last I headed out to the Canadian River again, I wanted to see if I could get to the Crossbar Overlook but didn’t manage to make it. It sure was a golden hour along the river.

El domingo antepasado volví a ir al río Canadian; quería ver si podía llegar al mirador de Crossbar, pero no se pudo. Sin duda, fue una hora dorada junto al río.

It was pretty busy at Palo Duro Canyon State Park the Saturday before last, as it seemed everyone was trying to capture those fall colors. I parked on the far end of the park and started on the Juniper Cliffside Trail, connected to the Sunflower Trail, and then back on the Juniper Riverside Trail for a loop. All I’ve seen so far in the canyon have been green and yellow leaves, no red.

El Parque Estatal del Cañón de Palo Duro estaba bien ocupado el sábado antepasado, ya que parecía que todo el mundo estaba intentando fotografiar los colores del otoño. Me estacioné en el extremo más alejado del parque y comencé la ruta por el sendero Juniper Cliffside, conecté con el sendero Sunflower, y luego volví por el sendero Juniper Riverside para completar un circuito. Hasta ahora, en el cañón solo he visto hojas verdes y amarillas; ni una sola roja.

These are from last Tuesday at the Hereford Municipal Golf Course, trying to capture the Beaver Moon.

The Sunday before last at Palo Duro Canyon State Park I hiked a variation of a loop of the Capitol Peak Trail system, while exploring pinnacles. Another magical sunset with the combination of the Beaver Moon and the sun, had that red rock glowing.

El domingo antepasado, en el Parque Estatal del Cañón de Palo Duro, hice una variación de ruta circular del sistema de senderos del sendero Capitol Peak, explorando los pináculos. Otro atardecer mágico, con la luna Beaver y el sol, tenia la piedra roja brillando.

Last Saturday, the Beaver Moon and the sun provided some pretty light at golden hour. I know, it’s November but I had to go back to Lake Meredith. This is out near the Windmill Campground along Plum Creek and in the No Hunting Zone. Most of the trees along the creek were holding on strong to their green leaves.

El sábado pasado, la luna Beaver y el sol proporcionaron una luz preciosa durante la hora dorada. Ya sé que es noviembre, pero tenía que volver al lago Meredith. Esto está cerca del campamento Windmill, junto al arroyo Plum, en zona de no caza. La mayoría de los árboles a lo largo del arroyo conservaban sus hojas verdes con fuerza.

The Llano Estacado was calling again. Last Friday I drove over a little past Grady, NM and down Highway 278 to the rim. I found a small road following the rim, I noticed a small tank of water all the road and figured it had to be private property. I followed the road until you guessed it, private property. I followed the fence to the edge of the rim and followed the rim until it took me back to the main road, after that I made my way back to my truck. I didn’t make it to where I wanted but these views were not so bad.

El Llano Estacado me llamo de nuevo. El viernes pasado conduje un poco más allá de Grady, Nuevo México, y tomé la carretera 278 hasta el borde. Encontré un pequeño camino que seguía el borde, vi un pequeño tanque de agua a lo largo del camino y pensé que debe ser propiedad privada. Seguí el camino hasta que, ya lo adivinaste, era propiedad privada. Seguí la cerca hasta el borde del rin y lo seguí hasta que me llevó de vuelta a la calle principal; después, regresé a mi camioneta. No llegué a donde quería, pero las vistas no estaban tan malas.

Last Sunday I made way back out to Caprock Canyons State Park. I took the North Prong Spur up to the intersection and took a right on the Lower Prong Trail Loop. I wanted to make it out to where the North Prong Little Red River winds and get catch the sunset there but again my relaxed planning got me behind schedule again. I made it to the edge overlooking the first river crossing just in time for the sunset. There was a bison on the trail on my way back but it was pretty dark so the photo quality isn’t the best. I’m always having to remind myself to keep walking during the sunset, I can stay in one spot and take countless photos as I’m trying to capture the last bit of light left in the day and forget that it’s getting dark and I have to make it back to my truck. So again, I had a feeling I was going to see a bison on the trail but there I was mesmerized with the red rock, takes me back to the trails of Sedona, Arizona, kicking up rocks, and chasing sunsets. I miss Arizona so much. 😞

El domingo pasado regresé al Parque Estatal Caprock Canyons. Tomé el North Prong Spur hasta la intersección y giré a la derecha por el Lower Prong Trail Loop. Quería llegar hasta donde serpentea el río Little Red de North Prong y ver el atardecer, pero mi planificación relajada me retrasó. Llegué al borde, con vistas al primer cruce del río, justo a tiempo para el atardecer. Había un bisonte en el sendero de regreso, pero estaba bastante oscuro, así que la calidad del foto no es lo mejor. Siempre tengo que recordarme a mí mismo que debo seguir caminando durante el atardecer; puedo quedarme en un lugar y tomar innumerables fotos mientras intento capturar la última luz del día y olvidar que está oscureciendo y tengo que volver a mi camioneta. Así que, de nuevo, presentí que iba a ver un bisonte en el sendero, pero allí estaba hipnotizado con la piedad roja; me recuerda a los senderos de Sedona, Arizona, pateando piedritas y persiguiendo atardeceres. Extraño muchísimo Arizona. 😞

Last Saturday I was planning to hike at Lake Meredith near the dam. I parked at the overlook that I went to last time I was there. I hiked down towards the water and came upon a gate so I had to turn back and figure out a plan B. I drove to other side of the dam and parked near the concrete drain. I found a short trail that took me down the hill and across the rocks. I didn’t feel like taking the trail back so I went up the rocks and out to the road above the dam. I was crossing the road several times trying to capture both sides. Then I got questioned by a black van if I was okay, after that a red truck heading towards Sanford stops in the middle of the road to ask if I’m okay, the driver then proceeds to get down, it looked like he was looking for something behind his seat, I yelled, “yeah, I’m good,” and he quickly gets back in his truck and speeds off, and finally I get questioned by two sheriff deputies, yikes! Every time I’ve driven down the dam road I always wondered what it would look like to capture those views.

El sábado pasado planeaba hacer senderismo en el lago Meredith, cerca de la presa. Me estacioné en el mirador que visité la última vez que estuve allí. Bajé hacia al agua y me encontré con una cerca, así que tuve que dar la vuelta y pensar en un plan B. Conduje hasta el otro lado de la presa y me estacioné cerca del drenaje de concreto. Encontré un sendero corto que me llevó abajo del cerro y a través de las rocas. No me apetecía volver por el sendero, así que subí por las piedras y salí a la carretera que está sobre la presa. Crucé la carretera varias veces intentando capturar ambos lados. Luego una camioneta negra me preguntó si estaba bien. Después, una camioneta roja que iba hacia Sanford se detuvo en medio de la carretera para preguntarme si estaba bien. El conductor se bajó; parecía que buscaba algo detrás de su asiento. Grité: "¡Sí, estoy bien!". Rápidamente volvió a su camioneta y se fue a toda velocidad. Finalmente, dos agentes del sheriff me interrogaron. ¡Uf! Cada vez que he conducido por la carretera de la presa, siempre me he preguntado cómo sería capturar esas vistas.
