| 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.
