A Lot of Lazy Sunday Sunsets

We've been working on "detailing" the fifth wheel this week. Two big dust storms left the inside and out pretty grimy since the fine sand filters through the smallest cracks and crevices. The good news is that with only 400 square feet to clean inside, it doesn't really take that long to do. Except one has to take breaks to walk the cat, lay in the sun and chat with the neighbors who are from Australia. Such a life!


I had to rush to get the color of the sunset on these mountains north of Yuma. The intense yellow was striking.

The same mountain range ten minutes later. The moments for the perfect picture are fleeting.

Looking west toward Yuma in the daytime you'd see hundreds of acres of lettuce and cauliflower and the many migrant workers picking the fields. At dusk, it's quiet and peaceful.

Our fifth wheel is the second one from the left in this picture. The Colorado River is right behind us. See why we like the rving lifestyle?


This is what we see on a nightly basis here in Ehrenberg. Add to that a few hummingbirds stopping by for a last minute snack, a few tiny bats diving for insects and the sleepy call of coots as they ride the river south and you have the perfect end to your day.


Notice the ring in the clouds just above the tree line? I have no idea what caused it but it lasted a long time.
