It's getting cold here at Bluewater State park

        It's getting very cold here at the park. Some morning's it is anywhere between 7-22 degrees ,just a little cold. I am still out walking the dogs at 6am every morning. I enjoy the sunrise over the mountains and the reflections on the water, its just breath taking. Here are some pictures from the past few days. We had a few "Wild horses" come to visit us at the park, too. They got up close and personal with us.Walter was helping me put insulation under the RV and then we saw the horses. Too cool. I hope you enjoy !!!!

The horses thought we had food for them

 

They said they are leaving since we had no food.

Bluewater Lake State Park, Prewitt,NM

I am at my new home for the next few months. They have lots of places to walk and take pictures. There is a dam and the lake is very large. The lake is 7 miles long and has a surface of 2,350 acres. It is up to 65 feet deep .  The dam is 100 feet high and 500 feet long. The last time the water spilled over the dam was in 1941. I walked to the bottom of the dam today with Walter ( the other camp host). It was beautiful but you can see for yourself and make your on decisions.

This is part of the lake

I know I haven't written in a while. So here it goes. I brought a critter cam. For those who doesn't know what that is .. it is a camera that takes pictures at night and during the day, but there is not much activity during the day for it to be on . Here is what has been eating my bird feed at night. I hope to have more unique pictures at my next location which will be Blue Water State Park, NM.

Birds at Oasis

Here are a few new pictures of some birds and sunrise's from yesterday morning. I have been trying to get this picture of the bird for a few days now and wasn't able to do so until now. I thought it was a woodpecker but I was wrong it was a Northern Flicker. I had to take the picture and then find out what it was.

I call it a loon but they tell me it is not.

Unique sunrise / sunsets

         It has been raining and very cloudy lately. Finally cleared up so I finally got some sunrise pictures. This morning there was a very large hawk in the tree across from my RV. I hope you enjoy them.
