Day Tripping with Rosy (Finale) - Jemez River Views


 
Howdy effuryone! 
Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and maybe share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville.  This week I am going to recap the
final part of my Day Trip and some of the beautiful scenery
I experienced on a nice walk along the Jemez River.

 
If you need to catch up, you can read about Soda Dam and Valles Caldera HERE, and lunch in Los Alamos HERE
 
 
 
After a big lunch, the pawrents thought a walk would be in order. When they saw this picnic ground, they parked JeeJee and off we went!

We passed big cottonwood trees with leaves just starting to spread

 
I couldn't believe all there is to see along the river.

 
There are big mountains, towering above on every side. Some, like the ones above, look almost molded!

 
Red rock can be seen everywhere

The mountains go on and on and running right along side of them....

is the Jemez River.


 
It rushed by us, and although it was full, it wasn't as high as it had been when Mama drove past here last year. 

Last year it was so high,it flooded most of the picnic areas.
Above you can see one of the places the water goes when it is too full,

After looking at the river, we turned around and headed back to JeeJee

After another look at the Red Rocks of course....

As you might have guessed, Mama made a short video...

You can also watch it HERE, on our YouTube Channel

Thanks so much for tagging along with me on our little day trip,. I have a feeling there will be a few more of these in addition to our CeCe trips this year!!

Thankful for Spontaneity

 
"Spontaneous refers to actions or events that occur naturally, without external planning or deliberate effort. It can describe something arising from a momentary impulse"

For example, this weekend the pawrents are taking us on a spontaneous CeCe trip!! Daddy is taking a half day on Friday and we are heading to a campground about 87 miles west of our place! The pawrents said something about just needing to relax and enjoy some different scenery. We are definitely up for some new smells, that's for sure.

Needless to say that, this week, we are very thankful for spontaneity!


Thank you Angel Brian for hosting the
Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

DayTripping with Rosy (Part 2 - Los Alamos)

 
A couple of weeks ago the pawrents surprised me with a special "Rosy Day Trip"(Sunny is not into road trips, unless we are staying in CeCe, so she held down the house).  We took off in JeeJee to explore a little of the Northeastern part of our home state of New Mexico. 


Last week I showed you Soda Dam and The Valles Caldera, this week we are moving along to our next stop, Los Alamos NM!


It was a beautiful ride out of Valles Caldera down into Los Alamos.

 You may have heard of Los Alamos from the movie Oppenheimer.
Los Alamos was a town founded by the US Government for the 
Manhattan Project...aka the development of the Atom Bomb

Again, I could let Mama could go on and on about conspiracies, secret experiments and probably all kinds of UFO activity but this is not her blog...amiright??
....so let's get back to MOI!

After riding around town for a bit, Daddy and I started getting hungry and guess what??
Daddy found us a dog friendly place for us to each lunch!

The Pajarito Brewpub was a cute little restaurant

They had a nice sunny patio and delicious bacon(Mama was nice enough to share).

Thanks Pajarito, for a delicious lunch!


Here is short video Mama put together:
 You can watch it HERE on our YouTube Channel
 
 

After we finished lunch we got back on the road again......
 
Join us Friday to wrap up my "Rosy Road Trip" with a walk along the Jemez River!

Flowery Nature Friday from the Botanical Garden!

 

Howdy effuryone! 
Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and maybe share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville.  This week we decided to be flower princesses and share pictures we found on Mama's phone from her visit to the Botanical Garden earlier this week.

It seems like overnight everything went from brown to a deep lush green at the gardens.

The roses are in full bloom in every color of the rainbow!
From this pink rose bush....

To these yellow and orange roses.

There were beautiful pink tipped roses hiding in the shade

...and beautiful pastel colored rose basking in the sun!


There were some colorful Irises too. 
This one looks like a sunset....but there were some pretty purple ones too!


The roses were just the tip of the flower iceburg though!


Here we have a cute little lady bug crawling on a Hawthorn Crimson Cloud bush/tree

 
A pretty daisy basking in the sun,


...and some pretty lacy hydrangea!

This is just  a few of the 87 million flower pictures Mama took, so she also made this video:

You can also watch it HERE, on our YouTube channel.
 

Thank you for joining us for a look at the flowers at the ABQ Botanical Gardens. We hope you enjoyed them half as much as Mama did.

What's blooming in your corner of Blogville this week???

Thankful for Random Act of Ducks!

Have you ever been "ducked"?? 
Although we had heard about how owners for Jeep cars may find rubber duckies on their cars, but last week it happened to US.  Mama came out from the grocery store and found a cute little rubber ducky on JeeJee's door that made her smile from ear to ear! 

We all decided we would love to spread smiles too. So we asked YOUTUBE  what she could tell us 
about this Random Act of Kindness, and we found this:



Needless to say, after visiting Amazon,...
We are ready to start ducking!! 
We'll keep you updated on the cars we "duck" during adventure 
season this year!

The way the world is today, we are thankful for little
"Random Acts of Kindness" that help humans smile!
