Exploring My New Home

There is so much to see and explore around Las Cruces. The only problem I have with that is there is no way I will ever see it all. Just taking my camera out for a couple bike rides and a hike I found some pretty neat stuff. Here are some pictures from those outings.


This dog came out of his driveway to see what I was doing parked at the side of the road. Apparently the hill was too much or I was too boring because he turned around.


There are lots of Pecan orchards in the Mesilla Valley. I liked the way the trees made a tunnel over the road here.


I see roadrunners almost every time I hop on the bike. Luckily I had my camera this time.


Chile field with the Organ Mts. in the background at sunset. Too perfect.


Cotton tail rabbit.


Desert Datura.

Not sure what bug this is (it is a true bug) but the ant at the top of the picture was hell bent on bitting me as many times as it could as I was trying to get a picture. The ants are crazy aggressive here in the south.


A rare cloudy day in the Organ Mts. with a bloomed yucca.


More clouds in the Organ Mts.


Spiderwort.
