Short Hiatus

GilaNM5.2.09

Taking a break down near Gila, New Mexico. This is the late afternoon view from where we're staying. Magnificent. Due to the creek down below there are lots of birds -- cliff swallows, canyon towhees, doves, black chinned hummingbirds and one ruby throated, orioles, American goldfinches, ravens, hawks, others I can't name. A couple of horses roaming around. A few lizards. I swear I hear javelinas down by the water at night.

The aquifer under the San Augustin basin feeds the surface waters in the Gila. Imagine this beautiful place with no creeks, streams, rivers or springs.
