Rio Bosque

One of my uncles always called it the "Rye-oh Grande" - despite having spent 80 years of his life in Taos.

We took our pooch down to the Rio on a nice late winter day.  He wasn't too excited about it.  Didn't even chase a duck or a goose!

In a few weeks, the snow melt in the mountains will fill Ol' Man River with much needed moisture headed to the farmlands and chile plants at points south.

Maybe there will even be enough water to help fill up Elephant Butte Lake.
