Desert Skies

last night's full moon with pink thunderheads

at sun-up this morning it was already 80 degrees F, sign of a hot day to come, and it was hot, leveling off at 104 F in the shade in the afternoon ...there is very little humidity, so the evaporative cooler worked like magic...

overhead the clouds were lovely...

clouds later in the morning...

even after the sun disappeared the temperature had only dropped to 98 F...

which was cool enough to go out for a walk and watch the full moon appear through the clouds...it was even more quiet than usual....no people noise whatsoever...I assume they stayed inside because of the heat...normally people go outside when the sun goes...

the only sounds were a few insects, and once, a bird...
