See that porchlight in the center of the picture? That's the "Oliver House" in the old mining town of Bisbee, Arizona. More than a dozen people have died in that house over the years - some under very strange circumstances. It's reported to be haunted by one or more of the departed.

Read more about that house here:

The building at the very top of the picture is a portion of the old Bisbee High School - my mother graduated there in 1929.

This mallard drake was sheltering behind our house during one of the really cold days a week ago. Obviously the cats were quite interested!

No idea why a mallard is still hanging around Nebraska in January, but there he is.

This Mallard was foraging in downtown Red River, NM.
The only Cat around was - me.

Probably didn't get the memo on the time and date of wheels up!

I passed by this same spot three days ago, and the berries weren't there. And the leaves seemed greener today.

What do the berries taste like??

I saw this Golden Eagle eating some roadkill on my way home today. Pretty cool.

Your guess is as good as mine.

There was some tongue in cheek in my berry question.

That Mallard in Red River wanted me to take him to
Shotgun Willies.
No Shoes, No Shirt , No Service!
You know that!

That's a great picture.

Just before you get uphill to Cloudcroft,
Here’s what left of the Mexican Canyon Trestle.
It was part of the old narrow gauge railroad that carried logs down to the sawmill at Alamogordo.

Thoughts of spring.

Is that still there? I remember seeing it back in the 80’s. Beautiful place; I remember being up there and looking down at the White Sands. Seems like I remember it being more complete and having the RR bed on both ends

Yes, still there.
Looked just like my picture the last time I saw it about a year or two ago.
