Hola ~ from "Where Rainbows Wait for Rain" ~ in Big Bend, Texas on the banks of the Rio Grande ~ along the border of Old Mexico

I hope everyone is having a wonderful morning ~ here in the desert country of Big Bend this day is off to a gorgeous start ~ crisp & cool before it warms up to the high nineties later today!  Wherever you might be this morning I wish you a great one! 

And here is the next entry from Peter Koch's 1945 Diary of the Big Bend National Park in Texas (to read this diary from the start please refer to my blog post of September 3, 2009):

Sunday
April 15

Had an invitation from Cal Miller Supt. of Platte National Park - Oklahoma to visit with them, and picture the Park -

Went toward the window and photographed the children on horses and burro.

On way down saw the pair of ant woodpeckers near the nest tree - I believe they have completed the nest.

The nest in cholla is still unoccupied and though the cactus wren cries an alarm every time I get near the place no eggs have been laid that I could find - in any nest -

We still hear the oriole every day - morning and evening seems like he will have his nest above our trailer although just as often he is heard below - the flycatcher is feeding young in the storeroom since last Wednesday - April 11th.

Hope you are having as beautiful a morning as the folks in this little village I just finished painting ~ a little village in Old Mexico ~ this piece is titled "Mexico Sunrise" and it is available now on ebay ~ where you will also see lots more photos showing all the intricate detail!

And here is the next entry from Peter Koch's 1945 Diary of the Big Bend National Park (to read this diary from its start please refer back to my blog post of September 3, 2009)

April
Friday 13th

Went up to Laguna and from there to a point about three miles down to canyon of the boot springs. The total hile of twelve miles was pretty hard and my records for the trip include many blue throat hummers.

The last Sunday that I spent on Laguna we failed to see or hear a single one of the birds now there are 4 in a single group in the narrow gap before arriving at Laguna from the Basin.

Also recorded three wood peckers that looked spectacular in the dead limbs of a pine - black except for red spot on nape of head - wheat breast streaked with black and red on throat (of male?) with white ring around eye -

Identify as Anteating Mearns Woodpecker - found one next in lower Basin and another below Cabin at Laguna.

Hola ~ from "Where Rainbows Wait for Rain" ~ and yesterday we did have a nice afternoon rain ~ I haven't checked my rain gauge as yet, however, to verify the amount ~ but it gave all the desert critters a nice refreshing drink!

Here is the next entry from photographer/lecturer Peter Koch's 1945 Diary from the Big Bend National Park, Texas (and if you're just joining the reading of this diary please refer back to the post of September 3, 2009)

April 11th

Spent most of the day working on the boat and watching the orioles.

In the evening we went to Dr. Maxwells home and after cocktails and meeting with the visitors - the director - and later joined the entire group at a dinner -

The first news of Pres. Franklin Roosevelt came in on short wave and the sudden death was a shock to all.

During the evening I had a chance to discuss the making of a picture for the Park - Drury agreed on the essentials - and a discussion of the details will no doubt follow.

We listened to Newton Drury address the Park directors and following that we went to trailer to discuss the many events - of the past two days.

The white winged dove of which I saw on 4 had moved down creek further and are now in vicinity of the Giant Dagger on trail. There were none noted in the little canyon or east side of Mt. Bailey.

On returning found - Drs. Schmidt, Taylor, Presnall, MacDougall, had returned from a trip into upper Mexico - across the Del Carmen area. Camping beside our trailer. We spent a very pleasant evening together and compared notes on snakes & bats.

DESCRIPTION



One moonlit evening around the midnight hour ~ sitting quietly on the bank of the Rio Grande ~ enjoying a beautiful full moon and the soothing sound of the river rippling through Santa Elena Canyon ~ I heard a light rustling in the brush from the Mexico side of the river ~ the brush parted and a donkey carrying two young vaqueros riding double stepped into the river and started toward the Texas side where I was watching in surprise ~ as yet unnoticed by any of the three. About midway one of the young men suddenly glanced in my direction as though he knew they were being observed ~ he looked startled ~ and no doubt so did I! But then ~ feeling no sense of threat from these two young vaqueros ~ I offered a smile along with a blessing, "Via Con Dios" ~ as their donkey stepped out of the river onto the Texas side of the border ~ and still smiling ~ and watching ~ as they rode away on their late night journey of adventure ~ I knew that someday I would paint this piece titled "Moonlight Border Crossing" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
