More Pictures

Now we are really getting into that day of high wind and blowing dirt, when my wife and I got sandblasted taking these pictures. Lately, though, it has been OK. It has not been so windy, it is getting hot, but the sad thing is: no rain no rain no rain. The drought goes on.

 These ruins, photographed before, yielded a few more rocks for the garden...

 

Second Dust Set

The sky was orange when I took these pics, but my processing of the pictures removed any sky color. The native images were all of severely low contrast.

Interestingly, I got an update to Internet Explorer 8, presumably a fix for the recent bug, and I am still running XP. I don't think that Microsoft has entirely abandoned XP users, at least, not when the issue is critical.

This is just a very funky spot.

And now the first of the pics I took during the first day of our recent spell of wind and dust:

 This house has been abandoned for years.

 In the planter above, I found the rocks for our garden.
