I pushed this photo in a lot of ways to get that sun glare and spots that showed up when I aimed to the western sky. Even though this is good farmland, I felt that sunny glare – not quite like that of a person staggering through a desert in mad search of water – but I did feel its intensity! Again, at a friend’s family farm.

Never fear, you may be dealing with a tropical storm by this weekend. 🙂
True! I have rescheduled activities on the 21st to 28th so as to avoid rain-slick roads on mountain and canyon roads!
