Buffalo still roam



Taking the byways in New Mexico are always fun. Out along Hwy 64 on the way south toward home from Raton and north of Cimarron, is a good sized herd of buffalo. When I stopped to take their picture, they were as curious as I was.

The other thing to note here, is that this is winter! There is no snow this year to speak of. We've not had rain either. Out forests are very dry and we are under high fire alert. No fires allowed anywhere.

The bears have come out of hibernation, and the mountain cats are coming lower to find food.
