Carlsbad Caverns National Park

I have only a couple bucket list items from my childhood. Seeing the bats at Carlsbad is one of them, and I have finally done that one!

Carr Canyon Waterfall

Carr Canyon Waterfall hike at sunset was challenging, but worth it in the end.

Ramsey Canyon is near where my cousin lives, so it was an obvious place to visit in the morning.

How fortunate I am to have people who love me enough to want me to visit.

The first item on the birthday agenda was a hike with waterfalls.

There are things to love despite the rain.

We missed the peak Autumn colours, but we nailed the peak Autumn day!

It was a good morning to photograph birds at a local wetland.

I cannot believe I’ve lived here for 18 years and no one ever explained to me what’s above Punchbowl Falls.
