Staying Cool In Tucson Under My Estes Park Cap — Image by kenne
mid-day in the desert,
I walk outside
taking a break
watching
the birds drinking
at the fountain
white-winged doves
dart
across the sky.
where are they going,
in their
straight path-line,
I wonder?
I sit
in the shade
of the olive tree
the desert dry heat
an’t bad,
as long as you
are not moving
and have a
iced-cold beer
in hand —
this is what
desert life
is all about!
somehow
these are
peaceful
days.

I do declare … is that a selfie? Great shot! My A/C seems to be running non-stop and I don’t like beer, but I did find some solace in a tall glass of iced tea laced with lemonade today.

. . .taken with my Nikon, not a smart phone camera. 70 degrees this morning with low humidity — great jogging weather.

don’t think I would enjoy that kind of heat.. I found Montana summer heat a killer. great picture though…you are an outdoor “boy” so no telling you to stay out of the sun. have a good day!
