Painting the Triceratops. I was never really happy with it before, partly because the stainless steel parts were such a different color from the rest.. I think it looks much better now that it's white. It also stands out a little better.
(Also, d pointed out that it's Stegosaurus, not Triceratops, with the spikes on the tail, so I really made a Tristegotops. Oops! I like the tail spikes, though.)

Alamosa, #Colorado has a lot of good #streetart -- I especially liked this owl.

@npub1qjr…kgt0 El Morro National Monument. Kind of off the beaten track, but it's a beautiful place, well worth visiting.

Lots of flowers blooming in the Jemez near the East Fork. We were scouting a new route to get to the river to wade up it to the Jemez Box (a waterfall/cascade). #NewMexico #hiking #wildflowers #bloomscrolling

View from Anderson Overlook; I couldn't resist stopping on the way back from a meeting. I liked the billowing clouds, and seeing contrails is somewhat unusual since we're far from any regular air routes.

Sulphur Springs, on the west edge of Valles Caldera. The irises are blooming, the ponds bubble with activity from the hot springs, and there are areas of weirdly-colored, sulphur-smelling dirt.

#Hiking to The Golden Throne in Capitol Reef. Lots of interesting rocks along the way, some perched precariously on the edge of canyons.

Our group hike today was supposed to be in Bandelier. Changed at the last minute to one of the White Rock trails, because it turns out Bandelier is closed today until 1pm for "a National Park Service wide training event". So they close the whole park??
Glad I didn't drive from another state planning to visit Bandelier.

Pretty light on the edge of White Rock Canyon as the sun comes out briefly (and as we take a break from snow shoveling).

Our planned hike up the Long Trail in Bandelier fizzled when it turned out the ranger's report "all the trails are snow-free" actually means "the Long Trail is ice and snow over its entire length". So we opted for a shorter hike on the always-beautiful Frey trail.
In the photo, see that white stripe going up the mesa to the left? That's the Long Trail.

Yesterday we explored the White Ridge #mtb Bike Trails, north of Albuquerque #NewMexico near San Ysidro. Some trails were much easier than expected; others so much harder that we ended up stuck in a box canyon and had to take the long way out. The Dragon's Back was fun, though.

#Hiking to Window Rock north of Espanola, #NewMexico yesterday. We stopped at the little shrine on the way. We had great weather and there wasn't too much ice on the trail coming down from the window. (Today it's snowing a little.)

I decided I needed to finish converting my best photos from this year into desktop wallpaper. Which turned into an odyssey of trying to port my #GIMP wallpaper script to the new API for the upcoming GIMP 3.0 release candidate. I eventually got it working (after much struggle), and just finished converting images. Here are a few of my new desktop backgrounds.

Today's snowy hike, on the paved Canyon Rim trail. We almost didn't go (the road up the hill looked a bit scary) but I'm glad we did. And Maile is happy she had more people to play with. I wish I could have gotten photos of her rolling in the snow, but I wasn't fast enough getting my gloves off and pulling the phone out. #hiking #NewMexico #snow #dogs
