You outdid yourself today with these photos. I especially like the ones with the bright yellow acacia blossoms.
Thanks, Dr. K. You know how much your opinion means to me.
The air "looks" humid--like what my brother-in-law calls "Eastern Gray"--not the usual deep blue of the Chihuahuan Desert. Since you definitely need the rain, maybe it's a good (if uncomfortable) change.
As you know, Scott, we badly need the rain. I may complain about the humidity, but I'm not really complaining. It's going to take a lot of precipitation to put a dent in this prolonged drought of ours, and I do a rain dance nearly every day. Okay, I don't, but I still try to boogaloo as often as possible.
:)
I try to boogaloo, too, but Kali's not much into shaking her booty any longer. We used to go out dancing nearly every weekend when we were in graduate school (the heyday of disco), but now we just dance at weddings--and hope that the DJ is good.
