Rider in the Bosque

I took a walk in the Bosque behind my house on a beautiful morning. I took lots of pictures of autumn colors, cranes, the river..... Just as I returned home, I ran into this neighbor on horseback. (There's a reason this village is called Corrales.) He was friendly and asked if I got some good pictures. I said yes and then, "Now have one of you, too!" This is the path on the irrigation ditch directly behind my house. The cottonwoods are turning a gorgeous shade of yellow. The leaves may be brown when it freezes tomorrow.
