That which blossoms
falls, the way of all flesh
in this world of flowers.

sakeba chiru
mi no yukuse ya
hana sekai

The Bosque del Apache is a wetland wildlife reserve about an hour and a half south of Albuquerque. This time of year the sandhill cranes and snow geese arrive from their summer homes north. Besides hundreds of bird species the Bosque is home to coyotes, snakes, mountain lions, wild cats, occasional bear and an assortment of other species.

It is funded and managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.  https://www.fws.gov/refuge/bosque_del_apache/

Makes for a glorious fall adventure and escape. We were there yesterday. A birthday gift to myself!
