Waking up to horses, Bluewater Lake, NM

I've been so lazy!  Just haven't felt like blogging but Katie and I are really enjoying Bluewater Lake State Park.  I woke up to horses in my site this morning.  They are so quiet I didn't know they were there until I opened my shades - and there they were, eating grass.  So cool!



Then they walked down the hill to the fields by the lake, where two younger horses started horsing around:






They didn't look like they were fighting, just playing.  Then the rest of the group, seven of them, walked up and they all sauntered over to another little grassy area to eat.  Fun to watch!  They are beautiful, shiny horses, very healthy looking. This area must provide all the food and water they need to stay in top shape.  I haven't seen the whole herd for a few days. 

Here's my camp site, above the lake.  It's a big, clean, clear site.  Very pretty:


This is The Palms - photo taken from down where the horses were playing:



 These photos are from last week after I moved up the hill to my current site:




I think this is my favorite place to be since I started traveling.  The weather has been really nice - and by that I mean MY nice.  Which is sunny and warm, not hot, then cloudy and rainy and lightening and thunderstorms.  I just love this weather.  I got my first lightening photo, couldn't believe it when I actually got one.


 Looking out at the rain.

I have so many photos - I'll post more tomorrow.

Have  a great Sunday, everyone!  :)
