Watching distant rain
Lightning flashes all around
But rain won’t fall here
No Rain

A lost soul, perhaps
The dark line on the opposite bank is the flash flood line, about 6 feet (two meters) above the current natural flow of the river.
Turtle tracks
The moon will be full tomorrow night, but we have not seen it the last few nights because of clouds.

Dawn
Dusk last night. Dusk tonight.
A flash flood this afternoon left piles of debris where I have been walking on the riverbed.
The temp was 101.1º F (38.39ºC) this afternoon before cloud cover brought the temperatures down.

Milk Chocolate Water
Not that we are getting a few thunderstorms in the evenings, the runoff turns the water flowing in the Rio Grande the color of chocolate milk. Inspired by the milk chocolate water flowing in the Rio Grande, I wrote and recorded a song of the same name and made it into the above music video.
The river was higher at dawn from runoff from thunderstorms north and west of us. By dusk, most of the water had receded.
Dawn (water). Dusk (mud).

Eastside Coyotes
Jake and I were walking on the riverbed at South Beach this morning when a couple of coyotes appeared on the east side of the river and started barking at us. They had a lot to say. A few weeks ago, the three coyotes we often see on the west side of the river walked down on the riverbed with us to get a drink of water. They were silent, and did all their business like, “Don’t mind us!” Jake and I were standing about 25 feet from the westside coyotes.
Dawn
Dusk. We’ve had a little rain the past few nights, so the river is up a little from the runoff.

The Rio Grande is slowly drying up. I was able to wade across the shallow point above and walk out onto an island north of the beach.

Dusk
Since we were on the river bed at dusk, we walked right up to the beaver feeding along the river bank, and said, “Hi!”
Surprizingly, he kept eating while keeping a watchful eye on us.
Waited For The Blue Moon
Notre Pond has turned into a Norte Piddle that looks like a unicorn knight with a fox tail.
