1. Aug 12, our walk to the lake with Miney and hubby. It is nice hubby is feeling up to more walks.
2. Aug 12th, it's been hard capturing a bird with my camera. I usually hear more than I see now. I did get a few shots of the Downy Woodpecker.
3. Aug 15th, a walk with Miney and Michael on the NCR trail. We saw lots of what looked like swamp sunflowers along the trail.
4. Seen on the NCR trail, there were lots of these flowers. I am guessing they are the Swamp Sunflowers?
5. Eastern Tiger Swallowtails were enjoying our Buddleia bush.
Sometimes Miney is on a long lead and will walk out on the driveway when the gate is open.
6. Aug 17, we took another walk on the Prettyboy fire road, hubby and Michael rested on a downed tree across the trail.
Aug 17, a mama deer with her fawn on our driveway. The spotted babies are so cute.
7. Flashback 2013, New Mexico birds. One of my favorite birds seen in New Mexico was my lifer the Greater Roadrunner.
8. Flashback 2013 New Mexico the Black Phoebe lifer.

Dear Eileen, your photos are so beautiful and captivating. Miney is so cute. I feel as though I took this walk with you. Thank you 😊 so much for sharing, ❤️ and I wish you a wonder filled weekend.
Walking is great, esp. if you have good company :-)) I too usually hear more than I see when we are out for our daily walk...I guess that's normal.
Lovely photos. I'm glad your husband is doing better, and walking with you and Miney.
The sound of birds chirping on your daily walks is the most serene soundscape I can capture.
Hope your are doing fine. Glad to read your post. Beautiful photos. Miney's walk pics, Loved deer, Black Phoebe lifer photos. Happy weekend. Thanks a lot for hosting.
Hello Eileen,
Beautiful photos. I love to see Miney, the flowers, the birds and the Swallowtail butterfly. Take care, and enjoy your weekend!
Hi Eileen,
This is a fantastic series of photos and collages.
I really like the eastern tiger swallowtails and also the black Phoebe lifer, a very special species; I've never seen one before.
I wish you a wonderful weekend.
Greetings Irma
Good morning, dear blog friend Eileen. I overslept today! Is it the weather? Or what was the reason?
Well, I'm drinking coffee and will come back later to enjoy reading about your hikes virtually at my leisure.
Thank you for sharing and for hosting. Greetings by Heidrun
Beautiful captures! The Cave Swallows are especially striking.
Miney seems like a gentle dog even I wasn´t afraid of! Oh, the fawns and, really, a Roadrunner!!
I´d sure waited for the meep-meep!
Thank you for the childhood-memories!
Have a wonderful Saturday.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful collection of critters and lifers. The Black phoebe is lovely. So are the young fawns.
Good that your husband feels better.
I wish you all a happy weekend and long walks with Miney!
I would love to see a roadrunner and the Phoebe is adorable. I am so happy to see all 3 of you out on the trail again, together. perfect place to rest a while. your header is drawing me in and if I could transport I would be there now sitting and staring at the view... I envy you your nature walk.
Lindas fotos desses passeios com Miney e fico feliz em ver teu marido cada vez mais podendo acompanhar novamente.Isso é muito bom! Adorei os veadinhos manchadinhos. As flores amarelas e roxinhas lindas e as borboletas felizes nelas!
Tenham um lindo fim de semana! beijos praianos, tudo de bom,chicaq

I am so glad that Hubby was feeling up to taking that walk with you and Miney - his smile speaks volumes! As always, a joy to come along with you via your lovely shots. YAM xx
Lovely to look back over those walks, great photo reminders of all the lovely critters you saw..
Seeing a roadrunner is a great event if you are an Easterner like me (or you)!
Nice photos. Thanks for hosting.
Great seeing you 3 out there!
The fawn is adorable. I have seen a deer except on the trailcam. Thanks for sharing yours!
Lovely photos, Eileen. Miney seems to enjoy her walk and it nice that your hubby can join you now too. Have a great weekend and thanks for hosting.
Glad to hear your husband is recovering, Eileen. Miney is growing rapidly and the photos of the critters and flowers are always beautiful. Thanks for hosting, and have a great new week.
Eileen ~ always wonderful nature photos here ~ love Miney the best and the deer and great selection of our feathered friends. Hugs,

How nice that hubby has been able to do some walks with you and Miney! Love all the photos past and present!
i have been hearing more birds than I have been seeing too, Eileen.
It is good that your husband is getting out for walks with you.
The roadrunner is such fun to see out West. We all remember the cartoons and he fits it to a tee! I'm glad your hubby has been able to get out some. I know he loves walking and being in nature too. Hugs!
You have to be a good listener in birding and then "Where is that bird?"
Just checking in - won’t have my critter post till tomorrow. Love seeing your birds, deer, butterflies, and Miney and hubby!
WOW, that was fun, so many cool critters, I like the roadrunner too...and the deer!
Only one little critter in my share, two if you count a bee! But I'm loving all of yours. I've never seen a phoebe. What a fun sighting!
it's so nice to see the hubby out with you on the trails...maybe with all the foliage on the trees it is a little harder to spot the birds. i enjoyed seeing the yellow swallowtails, i see so many at the end of the season. i always enjoy your flashbacks, the cave swallows is a pretty bird and you captured it beautifully. my post today is kinda' lame, sorry!! many thanks for hosting and have a great week!!
I love your critter posts.

Hello Eileen :)
It's lovely to see your hubby also out walking with you and Miney.I'm so glad he is feeling better. The photo of the Black Phoebe is priceless, what a sweet little bird, an exciting find for sure, and the Roadrunner is a comical looking bird, great photos of both. Beautiful captures of the Eastern Swallowtails, and the deer on your driveway, what a gift to see them through your window. Thank you so much for sharing, and hosting each Saturday.
All the best
Sonjia.

Hubby is happy he is able to get outside and enjoy nature once again. We do love seeing all wildlife.
Take care, have a wonderful week.
I enjoyed your post. The butterflies are beautiful. I find it difficult getting pictures of birds when I am on a walk. I don’t carry a heavy zoom lens because it weighs me down.
fantastic photos of wildlife....'
Have a wonderful weekend ..

It is good to see Michael join you on walks.
That is good news that your husband is getting out for walks to enjoy nature with you and Miney. This surely must lift his spirits. Your photos are always a treat to see as lots of what you see is foreign to me.
