Flat Top, Round Top, submarine ridge, McKenna Peak and Temple Butte are all visible … under rain. 🙂
Sweet, blessed rain.
(As for the title of this post … we *almost never* get rolling clouds like that. … Thank goodness we *sometimes* get clouds like that. :))
As I was transfixed by this sight of a couple of bands gathered around one of the ponds in Spring Creek Basin, another magical sight was forming over my right shoulder.
Sometimes, you see the things you need most to see … just when you need to see them. And any worries or anxieties melt away in light of the vision before you.
A wide-open view of a wide-open place, crowned by the very best light.
And did I mention that the 4 o’clock is blooming again? No? Well … it is. 🙂
Just a wee bit of rainbow sometimes is all one needs to see to believe in magic.
At least somebody’s getting rain. 🙂 Our forecast perks up with moisture in another couple of days, but we wouldn’t mind it sooner than later. Cooler temps ARE much appreciated.
Who doesn’t like a little post-supper nap at sunset? 🙂 While her band napped and grazed around her, Mysterium took the opportunity for a little shut-eye.
Mostly, it’s a tangle of four-wing saltbush and greasewood, but there’s some grass visible in there. 🙂 Temple likes it all.
I love evenings in the basin.

Courtesy of Mother Nature! We’re grateful. 🙂
A little bit of smoke haze has continued to infiltrate our skies at various times. That said, this view, from the basin’s northern hills, is one of my favorite in Spring Creek Basin. A landscape painter (or photographer) couldn’t have a much better background for a magical subject. 🙂
Are words necessary?
I don’t think so, either. 🙂
