Early Spring at the ABQ Botanical Gardens

  
 Happy Nature Friday, and almost Easter(and Good Friday) to those who celebrate!

 

Mama visited the ABQ Botanical Gardens last week and we thought they would be perfect for Nature Friday this week!



Spring has just started to Spring here, the trees haven't begun to get leaves yet





But the Spring flowers are making an appearance. 



The daffies are dilling...



They sure are cheerful to see after a long winter



 
You've got that right, Rosy! 



Look at these pretty Lenten Roses. They're even blooming during lent, just like their name says!



The planters are filled with freshly planted purple pansies
(say that 5 times fast BOL!)



They have a pretty dragonfly statue just waiting for Summer to bring the real thing.



We'll be back next week to share some pictures of the wildlife Mama saw on this trip. 

Plus, Mama says she'll be back to the Gardens in a couple of weeks to see things when the trees get 
leaves. So I'm sure we'll get to see even more pictures in the future!

 
 We hope everyone who celebrates has a wonderful Easter Weekend filled with lots of nature!!
 

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  to go to our Hoppity Page.

The Murals of Tucumcari


Bonjour!! Today we are back in Tucumcari, NM to take a look
at some tres jolie mural artwork! Tucumcari has over 30 murals. They can be found on Route 66, along Main Street, and also hidden on the side streets. We(ok, maybe Mama and Daddy) had a blast looking for them!

The murals highlight the different things Tucumcari is known for, like Route 66 

Tourism


Railway traffic

and Ranching!

Former resident of  Tucumcari Doug Quarles, and his wife Mary, painted most of the murals in town. The Quarles' have since moved to Benson, Arizona to do a series of murals depicting that town's railroad history.

You may be asking why we aren't in any of the mural pictures. Well, first of all, the temps were in the 30s and it was chilly~burr~freezy~cold. But mostly, there were sooooooo many good smells and our attention span was a bit shorter than a fly near a garbage dump. Needless to say, Mama let us stay in the car with Daddy most of the time.

Mama says we would have looked great sitting in front of this mural.
She also mentioned she might send us off to The GBGV College of Mural posing. Madison and her pack always look so regal in front of the murals they find!


Mama  took SOOOOO many pictures and put together a little slide show



You can also watch it HERE on YouTube



Thanks so much for tagging along during our mural tour of Tucumcari today!

This wraps up the Tucumcari portion of our travels. We do have one more road trip tail to tell next week around the campfire. Be prepared to be spooked when we tell you about our visit to a real life 
GHOST TOWN!
