On Saturday we drove up to Albuquerque to pick Colter and Alli at the airport! We spent Father's Day with the Lane clan, then drove back to Cloudcroft on Monday.

Lane Men: Warren, Wendell and Walter in the back;
Colter, Wesley and Jonathan in front. |
 |
Lane Daughter-in-Laws: Amy, Anna and Kathy in back;
Alli, Wilma and Alyssa in front. |
 |
| At the Covered Wagon shop in Old Town. |
I've learned some new plants along the way there and back. Red Yucca is in landscaping all over Albuquerque.
Kathy had a "spoon yucca" in her yard. :-)
More desert plants along the roads and byways:
 |
| Desert Willow or Catalpa |
 |
| Desert Verbena |
 |
| Sotol; similar to Yucca, but with spiny margins on the blades. |
 |
| Ocotillo cactus buds; hopefully we'll catch the actual flowers before we go. |
 |
| Ocotillo and Colter |
 |
| these long spines are VERY tall! |
 |
| Ocotillo in the Sacramento Mountains |

| Crucifixion Thornbush |
