Plains, trains and #Bolts (RIP John Candy) From a time lapse last week in eastern New Mexico. I heard the train in the distance, put out the intention, and Mother Nature came through. A real fist-pumper. #Weather #StormChasing #AlphabetChallenge #WeekEForEphemeral #photography #nature #bolthunter
Yesterday's monsoon storms sweeping across the Very Large Array near Socorro, New Mexico. #Nmwx #monsoon #weather #stormchasing #bolthunter
A lot of wild lightning during last night’s storms south of Albuquerque, over Belen, New Mexico. #NMwx #Lightning #BoltHunter #StormChasing #Monsoon
Today, chasing some very electrical thunderstorms west of Albuquerque New Mexico. #nmwx #weather #monsoon #stormchasing
Our land is their feedlot. SW land can't support cattle while maintaining functioning watersheds, adequate vegetation, stable soils, wildlife habitat and renewable water supplies through droughts. More production in other regions is viable, but goes against 'Western Mystique' and the cattle lobby.
Teddy Amenabar@teddyamen.bsky.social · last mo.Proposed regulations by the Bureau of Land Management would limit when someone can object to permits issued for ranching on public lands. “They’re clearly trying to reduce involvement of anyone other than ranchers,” said one BLM employee. www.propublica.org/article/publ...
I'm surprised so many of these structures on New Mexico's eastern plains remain standing. A couple hours later, I reported a lightning triggered brush fire about 10 miles from this location. Fortunately, the rain doused it. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekAforAbandoned #photography #NMwx #NM #BoltHunter

There was a pyrocumulus billowing up over the Aspen Acres fire at sunset last night. After dark I could see flashes of lightning as well. Crestone, Colorado USA July 4, 2026 #COwx #timelapse

San Jon, New Mexico, the official home of the World's Largest Flip-Flop. I think the other one is somewhere in my closet. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekZforZany #Photography #NM #Route66 #Americana 📷
One of Sheena's posts reminded me of this old flip-phone photo. The Canada geese don't appear to have read the sign yet. FD: I used AI to up-res and cleanup the image; otherwise, faithful. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekZforZany #photography #americana
Yesterday's yonder near Vaughn, New Mexico. The lightning reminds me of our state bird, the roadrunner, racing across the prairie with dinner in its beak. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekYforYonder #photography #nm #NMwx #stormchasing #BoltHunter #lightning #weather #climate📷⚡#plains #desert

When I came upon this scene, I thought it was the remains of an animal lying on the beach. Only after walking closer did I realize it was driftwood, carved by the ocean and covered by sand and shells into a form that played tricks on the eye. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekXforXyloid #Photography #Oregon

Trump is letting his UFC donor stage White House events. The Obamas are tweeting their self-portrait in their $850 million shrine. Musk is a trillionaire & Zuckerberg flaunts his superyacht while laying people off. Billionaire-paid pundits are outraged that voters want to burn everything down.
The Oligarchs Are Not Reading The Room
As Americans struggle to afford basic necessities, the country’s billionaire class is flaunting its wealth — and acting shocked by the populist backlash.

A glimpse of Tree New Mexico's work in Albuquerque. Across the state staff and trained volunteers lead 10–15 planting events each year. So far the group has planted or given away nearly 15000 trees! #AlphabetChallenge #WeekXforXyloid #Photography #volunteer #Albuquerque #NewMexicoTrue #conservation

My friend's dog Trek at an Albuquerque agility competition. Safe to say he was fully committed to the run. You can almost see his tonsils! #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVforVocal #photography #dog #agility #bark #agility
We had a sweet sunset last night with virga, a fragment of rainbow marching past Mount Blanca, and some bird butt. #COwx The soundtrack is El’s Entrance (Classic Version) by Mr Smith, used under a Attribution 4.0 International License.
