The One Hundreds

Enjoying the shadow

We're into the second day of triple digits (103F at our place yesterday), and it already felt pretty hot when Becca and I did a semi-long trek into the outback west of Tortugas Mountain this morning.  On the way back we ran into our buddy Jimmy, and he and I stood talking for about twenty minutes until the Beckster decided it was time to move along.  Didn't see anything spectacular to photograph today, which is a good thing because I wasn't much in the mood for photography.

Going to get pretty toasty soon

If I turn 90% to the right, this vantage point . . .

On the horizon:  the Organ Mountains

There's a jet winging across the sky in this shot
