Monsoon Morning

After a few good rains, the creek resumed flowing, the hills turned green and toads appeared.

Have a great day!

Almost Summer

These pictures are from May 31st. It's warming up, we've had several 100 degree days already. Monsoon season will begin soon. Rain is always welcome in the desert.

Enjoy the change of season. :)

Cool Summer Morning

Enjoy your day!

To the Creek and Back

Hello. These snapshots are from April 1st when the weather was sunny and warm.

Some ocotillo branches with reddish leaves light up in the sun:

Lots of lizard activity, fun to watch, haven't seen any snakes yet this year.

We had some weird weather yesterday when fog and dust were hiding the mountains:

Almost back to normal weather here today, except that it feels cool for April.

That's about it for now.

Have a great day!
