I have to admit that I came to Bosque this year with some trepidation.  I had heard that the conditions werre terrible and it was not worth coming.  But, I had a safari to lead and so, come I did.   And, while the conditions are very different than those in the past I found Bosque to be as magical as ever.  It did take me a full day to figure out the changes and where to go for the best photography but, I am glad I came and very excited to share Bosque with my group next week.
