We drive looong distances here for goods and services. Today I needed to do some business in town and get a hair cut, so I grabbed my travel kit and off I went.

| This desert willow has stood here for as many years as I can remember. The drought may have finally done it in, I'm afraid. Even desert plants have to get a drink now and then. |
My beautician is a 120 mile round trip drive away, so I took a picnic and stopped on a dirt road to sketch while I snacked. My landscapes are almost always low down on the horizon line because one is able to see nearly 60 miles in any direction and our skies are huge.

| Looking at the last mountain range before the road passes into Arizona. Our Februaries are often warm and sunny, but this year is down right hot already. |
On the way home I noticed the cloud shadows were nearly the same value and color as the sky, so I stopped and turned out a quick record of it. One of these days this cloud idea will appear in a painting. In the meantime, I'm having a hard time resting this stupid arm. There are so many things I want to do!
