Description
This was taken at a nature preserve in Albuquerque way back in. 2011 - my 2nd year into wildlife photography
Bosque was closed for 1.5 day - snow blizzard - almost thought we would need to spend a night in our car on the interstate which was also closed thanks to a smart - a… 18 wheeler truckie - they did mange ot clear it 4 hours later and we got sunset here!
