Climbing into the foothills before dropping into the lower desert |
Everything looks fresh and clean after a big rain |
Baby Ocotillo and Strawberry Pitaya Cactus look like a Lady Bug |
The desert floor is finally drying after the rain |
There are still a lot of clouds about |
Pleasant Chihuahuan Desert scene |
In the distance the Franklin Mountains near El Paso |
Chiarascuro |
Need . . . to . . find . . . . shade |
The way into the lower desert |
The distant city |
In a cloud shadow |

I like "The way into the lower desert."
Look how green everything is!
We're supposed to get severe weather Saturday night that will put an end to a miserable heat wave that has plagued us for a week. We've had temperatures in the mid-90s every day, and the humidity has been horrendous. There's been almost no one walking the trails in my preserve all week; everyone just wants to stay indoors. Great summer so far: rain every day in June, then damnable soupy heat in July. I do hate summer.
Those conditions sound miserable, Scott. I know what you mean about summers back there. Out here I can stand every month except the few--July and August--that are really humid.
