These ocotillos are the trees of the desert.
Though fairly straightforward, I really liked "Sandy area away from the mountain." The images of the jackrabbit, especially the second two, are really nice and help explain how these prey animals can survive being spotted by predators.
I like how you couldn't decide between two images--and then decided to post both! I do this "weighing game" all the time, too, but when I'm really indecisive, I just sort of randomly chose one or the other and post it.
There's almost nothing worse than high humidity; it might even be worse than high heat. I hope I don't jinx it by saying so, but we have had the best summer here in the northern Piedmont in recent memory. Temperatures have been moderate, humidity has been relatively low, and we've only had one weekend "ruined" by rain--and even that weekend wasn't a complete washout. We've hardly had to use our air conditioner (or even the fan) at all this summer. And now, it's the height of peach season, and Kali and I are going to our favorite orchard to buy some peaches today (Saturday).
They are indeed, Dr. K.

Thanks, Scott.
I'm with you on the humidity issue; it actually affects the way my body feels. And as I grow ever older I can almost hear my joints creaking in this weather.
Your summer sounds lovely--especially the way you describe it. I'm envious. Enjoy those scrumptious peaches!
:)
