It has been so hot lately it has been hard to get out to walk. The other night I stepped out after dark (was still close to 100 degrees) and saw this moon in the clouds. I grabbed my camera and took several shots, hand held. It was quite clouded over, with thunderstorms threatening, and there had been a fire nearby. I couldn't see the smoke in the air, but the camera picked it up. I liked the end result, kind of eerie and beautiful at the same time.
I was wandering around, killing time before my flight from the El Paso, Texas airport, and saw this little corner designed as a Service Dog Relief Station. I'd never seen this anywhere before, and thought it was very cute (and quite useful, I assume).
At the Lavender Festival there was an ornate crystal chandelier hanging outdoors, among the trees. This is just a small portion of the chandelier. I liked seeing the close-up details.
