Albuquerque

After Roswell, we drove north to Albuquerque. What a great day I had! First we went to a nearby dog park, and I had so much fun! 

We are trying to have a dog park built back home in Tobermory so dad and momma are always noticing different things. Look at the size of this space....and for once, there is no dirt, stones, or mud. The entire surface is covered with wood chips!

 I found out these red things are chilli peppers. They look so pretty and are all over New Mexico. At first I thought they were some kind of jerky...my favourite...but when I smelled them I knew they were something that didn't interest me.

I wasn't left in the truck today. I was able to go hiking and see things called Petroglyphs. Native Americans drew them on volcanic rocks hundreds and hundreds of years ago. 

 This is the canyon we hiked, looking away from the city.

This was the view on our way back. The mountains run all along the eastern side of Albuquerque, which is down in the valley.

 The biggest problem with our camera's self-timer is ME. At least this time I was facing the right way.

 I thought I saw eyes glowing in this cave....Those hands can wave all they want....I wasn't going into that spooky space. Maybe the hands mean stop....

 Actually, these areas are considered very spiritual to generations of Natives.

 Did they have flamingoes in the desert????
