Monsoon Sunset

Last evening, there was a lovely sky that only seems to occur during the summer monsoon season here in New Mexico.  The sky puts on its own magical show –

Patches and Jazz Approaching

Patches and Jazz, our friends’ horses, were more interested in me wandering around off our back patio that the lovely sunset show going on behind them.  The sun’s rays are outlining the Sandia Mountains in the distance very dramatically.

Evening Glow

Well, the curiosity about me wandering out back is clearly over for Patches and Jazz!  They are once again back to grazing in their corral, still oblivious to the wonderful evening show going on behind them.

Evening Sky

Here I’ve pulled back a bit to give you a better view of the great sky we had last evening.  You can still see the Sandia Mountains on the left side of the image, but now you can also see “our” mountain, South Mountain, on the right.  South Mountain is part of the San Pedro Mountains just a bit north and east of the Sandia’s.

Storm over the Mountain

And, finally, here’s a view of someone getting a sunset rain storm.  The rain is happening over the Sangre de Christo Mountains almost directly north of us.  You can still see a bit of the San Pedro Mountains off to the left, and Lone Mountain between the San Pedro’s and Sangre de Christo Mountains.  Lovely evening show!

Enjoy!
