It only took 9 years .... American Dipper (Cinclus mexicanus)

At last after a 9 year wait!

The first time I saw an American Dipper was in November 2014. I was on a Bald Eagle workshop with Moose Peterson in Haines, Alaska. It was a very dull and dark day and I saw this tiny (compared to Bald Eagles) quickly working along the river bank. I asked what it was and Moose said an American Dipper. Of course the light was so poor I couldn’t get a good image. Unfortunately, I did not see it…

Soak in “magic water” at Durango Hot Springs

Soak in “magic water” at Durango Hot Springs

I’m a sucker for hot springs and over the years, I’ve soaked in a number of these soothing havens, particularly in the Southwest. This region is the ideal spot for restorative dips, from riverside locales to mountain pools, and boasts such destinations as Truth or Consequence, Ojo Caliente and Jemez Springs, in New Mexico, and Pagosa Hot Springs in Colorado.  Recently, I checked out another of…

I think in unraveled Keefe should end up in a small nowhere town with a population of 200. Enough of Keefe In The Big City™️ have Keefe end up in Jemez Springs, New Mexico and bond with Ernst the squash farmer recently divorced from his second cousin Cassy(things get awkward at family dinners), have Keefe tell the people stories of elves and they think he’s a hoot and a holler(or insane). KEEFE RIDING A TRACTOR.

Interesting 1994 home is in the Jemez Forest in Jemez Springs, New Mexico. It is made of straw bale construction and a metal roof. The style is rustic industrial and includes a guest house and horse stable. 3bds, 3ba, $999K.

The first thing I noticed was the unique cement floor.

In the living room the fireplace looks like a vintage stone style that's been here for ages.

Ceilings throughout the home are corrugated aluminum with beams and 3/4 height walls.

The main living area consists of a kitchen, dining space and family room.

I didn't expect to see a $35,000 Aga stove in here.

There's a very large table built onto the kitchen island, but there's also a separate dining area.

Off the kitchen is nice big pantry.

The home has a 2nd level with a pretty wooden ceiling and 2 large asymmetrical columns.

This could be the primary bedroom with a seating area, plus access to the yard.

This is a large walk-in closet.

The en-suite is also very big.

Upstairs are the other rooms.

There are 2 quite spacious children's rooms up here. I really don't care much for the corrugated ceilings throughout the entire home.

Then downstairs there's a semi-finished basement.

The guest house is a log cabin style.

It looks nice, but it's not being used a residence. As you can see, it's s storage space.

If this is the horse barn, it needs work.

I wonder if the sheep convey.

A narrow stream runs through the property.

And, home is on 29 acres of land.

“The Magic of the Mountains” is a new painting being featured at the Broadmoor Galleries at the historic Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs CO. For more info about my work check out my website www.williamhaskell.com

Another gorgeous painting by William Haskell. It captures so much of the world here: the flat bottomed clouds hanging in the sky as the days grow warmer, the greening of the world, the movement of the wind singing through the trees, the golden grasses, but most of all the light sparkling off the blessed water running through the acequias that not long ago was a carpet of white snow under a million acres of tall, dense panderosa pine - the Jemez.

“In the Western tradition there is a recognized hierarchy of beings, with, of course, the human being on top—the pinnacle of evolution, the darling of Creation—and the plants at the bottom. But in Native ways of knowing, human people are often referred to as “the younger brothers of Creation.” We say that humans have the least experience with how to live and thus the most to learn—we must look to our teachers among the other species for guidance. Their wisdom is apparent in the way that they live. They teach us by example. They’ve been on the earth far longer than we have been, and have had time to figure things out. They live both above and below ground, joining Skyworld to the earth. Plants know how to make food and medicine from light and water, and then they give it away.”

last weekend, i finally saw my photography soulmate after what seemed likes months. maybe even at least a year.

Helin now lives in Jemez Springs. from Santa Fe, where Juan lives, it's about 90min away. last weekend, i was able to get away for the morning to go visit her. and it was just wonderful. i've missed my friend that was my partner in crime of ALL things photography.

she did digital. i did film.

she'd come up with projects. i'd either be in front of the lens or behind them with her.

we both understood which angles were the most flattering for the subject of any photo, whether animate or non-animate.

that Saturday, we spent hours catching up on lost time, soaked in a natural hot spring and ate a whole pizza pie with a side of roasted brussel sprouts. it was so much fun. it was the fun i've been deprived of and the fun that i've missed.

but! when we were walking back to her house from the pizza parlor, i saw this building that sent waves of memories back to me. 12 years ago (2012), my crew, ZQC, took me to Jemez Springs for my birthday. it was my 1st birthday single, as a free gal, and it had been years (since my 19th birthday in 2005) since i had a gathering planned for my year around the sun.

i took this photo (in black and white 35mm film) of a bath house in Jemez right before we hiked to a hot spring. my crew even booked a massage for my birthday, which was in that bath house. that massage, though, was awful! i kept asking my masseuse (who was a female) if she could ease up on the pressure, but she didn't. she kept saying, "just think how good it'll feel when i stop." 😳

and this is that same bath house with the awful massage i was bestowed with 12 years later!

what wonderful memories!

Northern New Mexico or bust — that seems to be the case for at least one Mexican gray wolf that is intent on wandering beyond the boundaries set for managing the rarest subspecies of gray wolf in North America.

Federal and state wildlife managers confirmed Thursday that the endangered female wolf has traveled north of Interstate 40 and beyond a recovery zone that spans parts of southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona. It was documented crossing the interstate west of Albuquerque last week and most recently was tracked to a mountainous area west of Jemez Springs.

This marks the second time the wolf — identified as F2754 — has ventured north. It reached the foothills of the Rocky Mountains near Taos, New Mexico, last winter before it was caught and released back into the wild in Arizona.

Environmentalists were excited about the wolf’s journey, saying the animals have a natural inclination to roam and that this illustrates the species can thrive outside what they consider arbitrarily designated boundaries in New Mexico and Arizona.

Legal challenges are pending in federal court that focus on the rules governing wolf recovery, namely the federal regulation that requires the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove all Mexican wolves north of Interstate 40, even in cases where the wolf causes no inconvenience or loss. The environmental groups contend in complaints filed last year that the provision ignores science.
