Debbie and I went to the local pumpkin patch to enjoy the colors of Fall and hand pick pumpkins for decorations. We came away with a load of pumpkins, gourds and corn. Debbie flew into her annual Fall decorating mode and now when you come to our home you'll see the colors of Fall harvest.
Weather in New Mexico varies due to altitude so the fall leaves change and peak at different times in our state.
In Northern New Mexico the leaves normally peak the first of October. In and around the Albuquerque area we enjoy fall peaking color from the second and third week of October. For Southern Albuquerque down around Carlsbad that area of NM normally see’s fall peak color the end of October into the first of November.

fall: November Changes In Albuquerque
- 11/02/11 07:49 AM
November Changes In Albuquerque The beautiful colors along the Rio Grande are quickly fading from a brilliant golden hue. As November winds blow in cooler temperatures the leaves on the old Cottonwood trees fade and begin their fall, leaving the ground covered in a carpet of golden color. The Salt Cedar growing along the rivers edge is changing from a darker golden color to a beautiful red which it will retain till spring. The many ducks, geese and cranes are now migrating to warmer climates. Soon the Sandia Mountain will wear a cap of white snow and the river will be … (25 comments)

- 10/25/11 08:43 AM
Cottonwood Trees Spanning 160 Miles Along The Rio GrandeMany people think of color in the high desert of Albuquerque NM as non-existent. Not so and here is a photo to prove the fact.

Resting in preparation for spring awaking.
While hiking the Albuquerque Bosque we couldn’t help notice the flurry of activity by the animals and birds. All were quite busy stocking up and storing up their homes for the winter months ahead.

fall: Brilliant Albuquerque Fall Colors
- 10/17/11 09:50 AM
Brilliant Albuquerque fall colors are here. We were concerned as the year has been quite dry but Mother Nature has blessed us with beautiful changing colors. The winds will soon be stripping the colorful leaves from the trees. If we are lucky snow will hang on the trees instead of leaves and once again have the Rio Grande River flowing strong. Until then we will enjoy the changing colors of Aspens, Cottonwoods and Maple trees along with our comfortable temperatures that the Albuquerque area is blessed with.

So take advantage of the fall season to clean up the place up and get it looking great.Consider trimming back those trees and bushes, rake loose leaves … (18 comments)
