It's been a while

A bit over two years in fact, since I last spent some time at City of Rocks State Park. I miss it - it's one of my favorite New Mexico State Parks. I'll be heading up there for a few days once my rent runs out here at the end of the month.

I can hardly wait to see if I can get some better pictures of the rocks than I got on my earlier visits. Meanwhile I'll put up a few old ones here.

Since frightened animals don't play, that's a good indication that those rats are afraid. ... This experience got Dr Panksepp to thinking about how many research laboratories might be messing up their results due to researchers' coming to work smelling like their pet cats.
