On October 18th we happily turned in toward Nambé Pueblo and its intriguing geological formations. As much as I would have liked to get close to them, they were on fenced-off tribal land, so I got as near as I could from the closest roads and zoomed in with my 100–400mm lens.
In the top picture, two cottonwood trees, Populus deltoides subsp. wislizenii, had turned yellow. (Click to enlarge the panorama.) I eventually managed clear shots of the hoodoo in the last picture but I still like the view of it hiding behind trees.

A November 13th commentary discussed the way people add an unnecessary qualifier to a word. Here's another example. News is called news because it's new. In spite of that, news announcers on television now almost always call it breaking news. News flash: if it weren't breaking it wouldn't be news, so drop the breaking and just call it news.
