Nature Hiking at Ute Lake


Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. This week, I am going to show you around Ute Lake, which is about 20 minutes northeast of Tucumcari. Saturday morning when we were thinking of what we wanted to do, Daddy suggested a hike at Ute Lake. When Sunny found out there would be a car ride involved, she decided a nice walk around the RV Park would be nice...followed by a nice nap. 

After we got Sunny situated, the pawrents and I headed out to the beautiful Ute Lake!

It was pawfect weather for a hike! Blue skies and warm with a nice breeze coming off the water. 

Ute Lake is about 13 miles long making it one of the longest lakes in New Mexico!

Plus, it has LIZARDS!!  
Daddy says I scared all of them away because I am so very fierce!


Mama loved the rocky shoreline. Ute Lake is a popular place for humans to do everything from enjoying all the natural beauty to hiking and water skiing!

We took a hike along the water for the first part of our walk. Mama told me there were supposed to be lots of fishies in the lake. I kept looking, but didn't see any.

After we explored the water's edge, we took a ride to see the other side of the lake.

This side of the lake has cliffs that look over over Lake Ute
(this is much better lizard hunting terrain, but I still didn't catch one).

It had pretty views of the sparkling water!

The water's edge was a little more rocky on this side too!

Before I knew it, it was time to head back to ArCe for lunch and to see Sunny!!

Thanks for joining us in our hike around Ute Lake, it sure was a fun place to visit!

We hope everyone gets out to see some Nature this weekend!

Thankful Thursday - ArCe CheckUps


The other night, when Daddy and I were headed out on our walk, I noticed ArCe was missing.

I was worried because ArCe is always there to greet us when we head off for our walks. I asked Daddy if she was ok.

Daddy assured me she was ok and, that earlier that day, he drove her in for a check up and to get her oil changed. Mama made sure to follow them to brought him home.

Daddy told me not to worry, she would be back in her place at home today(Thursday).
This week I am thankful ArCe is healthy AND she 
will be back in her place at home in plenty of time for our camping trip next weekend!

A Midnight Bandit on Backyard Wildlife Wednesday

 
TC caught a Midnight Bandit hanging out at the birdy area. Drinking at the fountain is one thing, but we sure hope he doesn't decide to climb up and get the bird feeders!



As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE

Travel Tuesday - Rosy's Walk around Tucumcari

As you might remember, a couple of weekends ago we packed up ArCe and took a ride to Tucumcari, NM.


It was our first long ride in ArCe. We had to listen to Mama oooo-ing and aaawwwiing about the BIG views she and Daddy have out the front window almost the whole trip long.


"Are they ever going to be quiet Rosy??"


Rosy "Zzzzzzzzzzz"

After about three hours we made it to the Blaze N Saddle RV Park!
This is the same place we stayed almost exactly two years ago when we were in Tucumcari! Of course, we stayed in CeCe way back then. 


 It was still early after we ate dinner. Sunny was sleepy and decided to go to bed early, but I was ready to explore! 

Mama and Daddy took me for a nice sunset walk along Route 66 in Downtown Tucumcari!


This is the Roadrunner Lodge. Believe it or not this building has been around since 1947! 


This mural was part of the Kix on Route 66 Restaurant. 


Mama and Daddy are so sorry they didn't eat here. It burned down last week and has no plans to reopen. We are glad we got some pictures of it before the fire.


This is the Safari Motel, it is one of the most popular hotels in Tucumcari and was built in 1959.


This is it's owner, Sam. 
He and his human, Larry Smith, have owned the Safari since 2017.


Here is the Blue Swallow Motel, Mama's most favorite hotel to take pictures of in Tucumcari. It has been around since 1939.

Thanks for joining me on my sunset walk around Tucumcari. It's always nice to explore places we are staying. Plus, Mama is always happy to walk along Route 66!

Our Tucumcari weekend continues on Friday when I show you the cool place I got to go on Saturday morning!

Nature Friday at the Botanical Garden

Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. This week Mama and I are going to show you the Daffodils and Lenten Roses blooming at the ABQ Botanic Garden.

The Lenten Roses are so pretty in the sunlight, don't you think??

Look at this one with the sun shining behind it!

Mama saw two different colors. The dark purple, like this one....

...and lighter blooms with purple edges!

The daffies were just finishing blooming when Mama visited.

She did find a few nice collections of blooms

Did you know that daffodils are sometimes called Lent lilies because they, like Lenten roses,  also usually bloom during the same time as lent.

There are over 200 varieties of Daffodils!

Always remember to be the daffodil in a field of dirt!

We hope you enjoyed todays look at the daffies and Lenten Roses Mama found and, as always, we hope all our friends get out and see some nature this weekend!

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE
