The other morning it was cloudy, dark and sprinkles were in the air. Out here, this is the stuff dreams are made of and I decided it was time to take a beautiful break. It's true that if you don't venture out into nature at times like this, it's a missed opportunity. I went on a little hike and enjoyed feeling cooler, the sun was hidden behind layers of clouds and the rain and moisture made the desert scents come alive. I wished I could have bottled up the scent of the creosote leaves and brought it home with me.
Instead, I took some photos to enjoy. You can look closely and see the rain drops all over the agave which makes it look like cool shark skin. I also noticed what looks like some sort of images burned onto the stems of the plant that look like silhouettes from the upper stems. It's possible that as the sun appears to change position during the day, it blazes in shadow marks of the jagged edges from one to another. A simple example of the rugged beauty in this desert southwest!
