Spring Flowers, #4. The hedgehogs have stopped flowering, but the yuccas are still out, and the prickly pear are beginning. Kathy and I took a walk up the dirt road that starts out on the hilltop just east of Rinconada. This road parallels the dry wash seen in an earlier post: “Rinconada Scenery”, and provides a view of the top of the Chimney, a tower of soft sedimentary rock that sits at the head of the drainage shown in that prior post.
The turn-around point for our walk was this stock tank and its population of goldfish.
Spring is a beautiful season – it is the season of rebirth, a time for change, a time to blossom, it represents the start of a new beginning. Nature seems to rejuvenate in spring time as fresh buds start growing, the earth begins to gain back its colors. Spring overall falls on the months of March to May and many kinds of beautiful flowers are in bloom.

Our Monument Float is a great way to view the early blooms of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. This is a very scenic 7-mile full-day trip. Here, the river is enclosed by 700′ high basalt cliffs, with lush river banks. Along the way, you may see various song birds, geese, ducks, beaver, muskrat, bighorn sheep and even otters!
