Arizona Desert Skies

There weren't a lot of clouds in the sky today, but the ones there were made for an interesting sunset. We were outside draining the grey and black tanks preparatory to traveling tomorrow and were able to watch quite a show. First some of the high clouds began to show a tinge of pink --

Then some of the larger ones picked up a little orange to go along with the pink --

While the lower clouds were turning pink and lavender --

As it got darker, the cactus showed up as a silhouette against the colorful sky --

And the rest of the sky just got wilder --

If nothing else, Arizona has some absolutely beautiful sunsets!

We went to the post office in Salome today to mail some stuff and then stopped at a small produce market set up beside the local beauty shop (open Monday and Tuesdays) for some fresh vegetables for tonight's supper salad. We did a little birding but didn't see much beside Say's Pheobes, sparrows and phainopeplas. Along with the phainopeplas who were enjoying the seeds of the mistletoe, we also saw a couple of small mammals up in the bushes eating the seeds.
