Forever Home – July 28th

Finally – I got to view a sunset at our new home in the High Desert.

No trio of tall palm trees any more. Lots of trees, but they’re lower and block less of the view. Can you spot the four-day old crescent moon? Click on the image to see it full sized. It’s there!

There it is, a little more zoomed in.

Looking the other way, across the back yard wall, we get that “purple mountain’s majesty” thing going on. The Golden Hour. With high-tension power lines everywhere, carrying electricity from Boulder Dam to Los Angeles.

A half hour later it’s more purples and blues than oranges and yellow, and it’s getting cold quickly. It may be 87º during the day, but it drops into the high sixties fast once the Sun’s down!

Welome home!
