VLA- The Very Large Array

While in NM last week I realized that the VLA was just outside Socorro. So on our last day in NM we dropped by the VLA. I'll tell you what...It is pretty exciting. They have a small, but cool, museum and a great little gift shop. They are open everyday...even the gift shop. If I lived there I would totally want to work in the gift shop. People from all over the world go there for a quick tour.

Of course technology is most awesome.

So if you find yourself with some extra time drop by the VLA...If nothing else you will have some really cool photos!

 

Western Scub-Jays

Here is a Western Scrub-Jay taking off with a pine cone in it's mouth. I watched as many came and plucked them off the trees and went to bury them. These are amazing birds. Living in Oklahoma, we do not see these birds. While vacationing in New Mexico we got a great chance to enjoy them.

Try to be alive

I ran across this and thought it was pretty cool.
