Someday, when this relentless, stifling, heat ends, I will probably do an old time photo expedition and got some other stuff for this pitiful blog. Until then, those sunflowers go marching on.
I finally got a semi-decent pic of one of the many finches that hang out here.
Record high morning LOW temps-- that's what really bothers me. That's a new one.
So, the bleep goes on. More of the same next time.
More of the "same". But not really "the same".
One of the advantages, the few advantages of living in Lubbock has been the altitude. At a little over 3000 feet above sea level and with generally dry air, we usually start the day with temps in the 60's. But not lately. Lots of heat this August and the days are starting near eighty. I've lived here a long time and I've never experienced that before. Not a good sign, and a sign of things to come.
The sunflowers are even getting a bit wilted. I have to water a LOT.
That's it for now. Plenty more left.
The front garden is all roses and right now it is too hot and dry for them to do well.
You'd think it would be easy to take pictures of these things, but it is always windy here and they don't hold still.
Nothing else photographed yet, but I've got lots of this stuff to go.
That's enough for now.
And I've got a lot of pics.
What we need around here is a break in the heat.
Since this stuff changes from day to day I can get pics every day and it is always different. Still have had no luck with the birds.
I might just do this stuff all summer.
