Heron Lake State Park, New Mexico – Day 80

The motorhome is still parked at Heron Lake State Park about 20 miles south of Chama, New Mexico. I’ll be departing later this morning for Taos, New Mexico, about 100 miles from here.

I’m finding I’m not fully recovered from the May 27 accident. I seem to tire easily…I don’t have the physical resiliency I once had. I seem to be moving at half my normal speed. I’m still wearing my elastic chest bandage, taking Ibuprofen and icing my rib cage area twice a day. Oh well, I’ve no choice but to live with the situation until things take care of themselves. Life still must go on. I’m glad I’m still around to enjoy it.

For the next couple of days, I’m going to finish showing photos from Heron Lake State Park. Today’s photos are particularly stunning, as in several of them…the clouds act as a filter and the distinct circle of the sun can be clearly seen. A most unusual happening!

 While they are similar because of the momentary setting…they are all very different and unique. I hope you will open each one and enjoy their uniqueness. I particularly like to enjoy the colors and the shapes. Just like staring at a fire from moment to moment…you never see quite the same thing…

Heron Lake State Park, New Mexico – Day 64

The motorhome is still parked at Heron Lake State Park about 20 miles south of Chama, New Mexico.

I’ve been here for several weeks now and have photographed everything worth seeing within a 30 mile radius. I’m still not feeling that well that I care to drive lots of miles in search of photographs. The doctors told rest should be my #1 function.

Lake Heron has an amazing number of widely varied sunrises, sunsets and cloud formations. I’ve got some really neat photos to share. I’ve already taken them and will portion them out over the next couple of weeks.

Early morning and late afternoons frequently provide the best lighting for good photos. In these photos I’m looking towards the West which means the rising sun is at my back. Here’s an example…

This photo taken at 6:30 AM…the moon is barely visible in the upper left-hand corner…

Heron Lake State Park, New Mexico – Day 28

The motorhome is still parked here at Heron Lake State Park about 20 miles south of Chama, New Mexico while I am recovering from my May 27th accident.

My right ribcage area remains slightly swollen and tender to the touch. I’m pleased to report some progress…with the exceptions of a cough or a sneeze, the poppings, with the associated pains, in my chest have finally stopped! I remain taking Ibuprofen, icing my ribcage area 2-3 times a day and wearing an elastic bandage abound my chest. The doctors told me to expect 6-12 weeks for recovery. The accident occurred seven weeks and two days ago today. Can you tell I’m ready for the recovery to be finished?

Today’s blog entry shows abstract photos created by 6:30 AM morning clouds and sun. They are all somewhat similar, yet different…

By the way…the previous photos were all taken through this rather dirty, rain-spotted motorhome windshield…

Enjoying beautiful early morning skies is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

Heron Lake State Park, New Mexico – Day 26

The motorhome is still parked here at Heron Lake State Park about 20 miles south of Chama, New Mexico while I am recovering from my May 27th accident.

My right ribcage area remains slightly swollen and tender to the touch. I’m pleased to report some progress…with the exceptions of a cough or a sneeze, the poppings, with the associated pains, in my chest have finally stopped! I remain taking Ibuprofen, icing my ribcage area 2-3 times a day and wearing an elastic bandage abound my chest. The doctors told me to expect 6-12 weeks for recovery. The accident occurred seven weeks ago today. Can you tell I’m ready for the recovery to be finished?

In yesterday’s Blog entry I showed photos of a waning quarter-moonrise. I took the photos in today’s Blog entry on July 7th…eight days ago. My new Sony HX200V Camera takes amazing low-light photos. I took these about 10:30 PM from the motorhome bedroom window. With the window open, I slid back the screen and rested the camera on the window sill to help hold it steady. The photos are somewhat similar, but because the clouds kept on moving they’re somewhat different. Almost abstract in nature…
