An amazing sunrise...

Our Location: Near American Girl Mine Road, BLM, CA

(yesterday's post)

 

A wonderful light show this morning as I wandered around the desert trying to find something to liven up the morning photos. 

 

I chatted with our friend Ron back in Kansas. They are the friends we had hoped could come west for the winter with us but for reasons beyond anyone's control that didn't happen. Ron explained that our night time lows are higher than their day time highs. I'm glad we're here. 

Sunrise through the branches of a Palo Verde Tree.

Taken through the center of an old tire.

We enjoyed the day, both of us heading off in different directions for our walks but making it back to the Igloo within minutes of each other. Good timing, it was time to prep lunch. Honey maple chicken breast, stuffed zucchini (zucchini, carrots, celery, mushrooms, onions, asparagus) and potatoes with onions. All cooked on the Weber Q by the way George. Low and slow. A slice of fresh banana bread as well. Yum, Riley certainly makes a good job of it. 

 

The moon way over there as the sun is coming up.

 
Some reading, some sun, some shade, a bit of a cool breeze, or at least it was cool to me. It had me putting on a sweater when I was bbq'ing lunch around 2:30 pm. 

Such an amazing sky.

 
Daughter Courtney called later in the evening for a chat. She is my oldest daughter, lives in Toronto and works for the Toronto Board of Education. The city of Toronto received a great deal of rain on Wednesday, while farther north my dad was receiving snow. Very windy in both locations over the past few days. 

Noticed this fella on my walk this morning.

A bit closer view.

 
So that's our quiet day here in the desert. We have no complaints, we like it peaceful and quiet. Thanks for stopping by.

Sunrise on the mountains.

Until next time.... take care, be safe, 

It definitely adds a different view.

Rainy start to the day....

Our Location: BLM, Ogilby Road, Winterhaven, CA

I heard the rain once again this morning and stayed inside as there was no sun to see. Fog, clouds, mist, rain and a cool breeze filled our morning hours and into the afternoon as well. 

 

A rainy start to the day.

 

 We did a few inside chores today, did some more reading, and napping as well. About mid afternoon the sun came out, chased away the clouds and the day seemed to be heating up until one stepped outside into the cool breeze which changed directions during the day. 

Can't see much of anything. But the bushes and trees look more vibrant.

Not many rigs left in the back now. Many of them have cleared out.

 So today’s activities were very limited but I will leave with shots from the door step taken off and on throughout the day and tonight’s sunset. 

 

It's starting to break and clear now.

The beginning of sunset tonight over the mountains behind us.

 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit.

 

The fire is fading quickly and dusk will soon settle on the desert floor. Goodnight from Ogilby Road, California.

 

 

Until next time…take care, be safe,
