Dawn took another another break this morning, and the sunset was nothing to write home about; however, I did have the opportunity to get this photo of the sun setting behind trees that captures the feeling of Christmas in Corrales.
Our late afternoon walk in the bosque, close to the Alameda bridge, gave me some different perspectives of the river. The air was cool and crisp, but hazy, producing some nice effects shooting directly into the sun.
We noticed the porcupines had been gnawing the bark off the young Russian Olive trees along the bank of the river. If I hadn't seen porcupines chewing on trees recently, I would have thought the beavers were somehow responsible.
While we saw evidence of animal activity in the bosque, the only wildlife we saw were ducks, snow geese and a lone seagull. A group of coyotes were yipping and howling on the opposite bank of the river, but we couldn't see them through the salt cedar and glare of the low sun.
