Took the day off, woke up extra early and headed out in the desert for a little rock hounding. We're like 10 days into an extreme heat spell, and just capped off the hottest August on record. I left home at 4 am and it was 89 degrees. An hour later I was way west of the big shitty city and it was only 77! Man I haven't felt it so cool without air conditioning since May!!! Here's a twilight shot  And the sunrise a little bit later  Some neat clouds in the other direction  Hounded till about 9 this morning and that's about all I could take. Here's a few of my finds cleaned up  Now I just have to wait until sunset to go out to the saw and see if I got any good ones.  |

Only ten days into an extreme heat spell? Wow, sounds wonderful to me.
Nice pics Brian. Hope you get some goodies out of that batch.

Puttin' a spit polish on your rock vision, huh Brian!?! I'm sure they're gonna be some awesome pieces.
Gorgeous sunrise too.

Beautiful pictures Brian. I don't know if I'd get up that early even for rockhounding. Glad I don't live in an oven...lol.

Hope you get some good'uns out of those! Dang, we had no heat here this summer. I think... maybe... we might have had 10 to 12 days max over 80 here in western WA... and that is probably an overstatement.

Brian:
Great photographs, nice to see sky like that to wake up to. I can for go the heat though...and so much for this global warming crap, we just had a record cold August, no heat spell for us yet. So far we have only had one week of summer here in Washington.
I even had to build a fire one morning whilst knapping in our picnic shelter............in August!
