El Vado State Park | New Mexico

 
I wasn't sure I was going to like this state park, but the scenery is great!  I really enjoyed my stay here, but I sure was missing trees for shade.  And the internet - there's basically no signal here, although I did get a few messages out.
 
 
Ospreys are nesting this time of year in this neighborhood.  She was bringing her babies some breakfast - whole fish right out of the water.
 
 
For some reason, I think she looks startled in this photo. 
 
  

I love the scenery here, even the rocks near the boat ramp.




In one of the calm areas that is a bit sheltered, you can see the dam in the distance.



Shale Point was not far away and is different from the other areas - the shore is all shale that has been worn down into tiny pieces.  I guess it's not hospitable for plant life - not much there.

 
 
One evening we had a thunderstorm and even though this might look like a sunset, this scene was opposite the sunset and it was still misty.
 

Sunset that night.
