Mariah the lovely. Really there doesn’t seem to be much else to say. 🙂

Fullness of beauty
24 09 2018
The full moon rises over Temple Butte and McKenna Peak on the eastern edge of Spring Creek Basin.
It’s officially autumn. 🙂

A little of those (dark clouds) led to a little bit of the wet stuff yesterday afternoon.
We love wet stuff. 🙂

‘Be cautious with fire’
12 08 2018
Not much to say. … Terribly smoky. Many more people dealt with the smoke from the 416 and Burro fires – nearer to denser populated areas. Now smoke from other fires is blowing and settling in other places.
And there’s California …
None of it is good.
For a moment, a chance of rain appeared in our forecast for Friday. … Now there’s no trace of that chance.
Still, we hope.
(The blog post title came from a highway sign I saw yesterday that read: “Be cautious with fire and cigarettes.” Uh. … Really?!?!?! I have a much less polite way of thinking that people ought to be “cautious” with fires (!?) OR cigarettes (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)!)

Grey in the morning, red in the evening

Temple Butte and McKenna Peak seen through the haze of dense smoke on Friday morning. This view is looking east, around 10:30 a.m.
Skywalker grazes against a smoky sunset a little after 8 p.m. Thursday.

No-haze days
16 07 2018
Raven on a hazy day not so long ago. We have gotten some drips and drizzles, and even with just a little moisture, our world feels the relief.

The view, usual
10 07 2018
Terra, again, a couple of days after the below photo/post.
This photo illustrates our usual view: Sunshine in the basin and rain beyond the horizon (McKenna Peak and Temple Butte).
The clouds did eventually cover us that evening – it was the evening of the rainbow – and we got a teeny amount of raindrops. As evidenced by the swirly swish of that stunning tail, the wind preceded the rain by hours. 🙂

It was a pretty nice view … and then Hayden walked into it, and it became spectacular. 🙂
Hot, dry, windy conditions (you know … same ol’, same ol’ … ) have resulted in more – and more visible – activity from the 416 and Burro fires. Air quality near the fires is pretty bad, according to personal accounts and this Durango Herald article.
Many thanks to the many firefighters on the job in our area!
