It ran from our yard to the neighbor across the street, first under their camper, then their porch and finally came out onto their driveway so I could get a really good picture. So tickled--been waiting 4 years to see one up close!!!

My second critter of the day!! Finally was able to see a roadrunner close enough to photograph it.

Critter on this morning's walk
Took the girls out for their morning walk today, and wasn't going to take my phone. Just before I walked out the door, I decided to put it in my pocket. Am I ever glad I did!! Look what I saw on our walk:
Cute little guy!! I almost stepped on it cause it blended into the road so well. Just happened to look down and there it was.
Here are a couple of blooms that were on some type of flowering bush at the Alamogordo KOA. Very pretty blossoms.

AZ to NM
So on Friday, we drove from Casa Grande, AZ to Alamogordo, NM.
The job we had been offered and accepted vanished when we got to AZ. Evidently the controller had hired us without the owner's knowledge, so the job was withdrawn. So we decided to stop in NM for a week or so while we weighed our options.
We had been to Las Cruces before, but had come through Carlsbad, not from the west. The painted water tanks were in Las Cruces.
We had not been to Alamogordo or through the White Sands Missile Range before, so it was all new territory for us.
We spent the night in Alamogordo and then drove on to Lakewood, NM on Saturday.
We are staying at The Ranch in Lakewood for a week or so. The last picture shows us parked at The Ranch. Have visited some friends, and will be visiting them again.
As normal for me, I sort of got carried away with the pictures of rocks and mountains, but they were so unique, I couldn't help myself.
Enjoy the pictures below.
This roadrunner sculpture was on a hill overlooking Las Cruces.
A quail on her morning stroll through the park.
Yesterday, I was leaving to go to the grocery store and there was a roadrunner sitting on the hitch in the back of the truck. I couldn't get my camera fast enough without scaring it, and my cell phone didn't take a very good picture. But it was very cool to see one that up close.

Cacti in Casa Grande
Here are some cactus varieties I found in Casa Grande. Some are rather strange looking, as you will see!
