More photo telling - Truly Free Range Friday

This is the sign for the grocery store we go to in Dell City. It's about the size of the old Vietnam store, but you can't find canned beef! You CAN find good fresh flour tortillas though. And the 3 page newspaper. 60 + arrests for drug paraphernalia at the border patrol and a fiddler on the plains seemed to be the main news this week.

I didn't realize this was such a graphic photo. But think of the compost!!

This jack rabbit, or his cousin/brother/uncle/father usually hops through the property in front of us, hippity hop.

This beautiful snake was in the road. It's not a rattlesnake but we can't find out exactly what it is. Unless one of you know?

 The fishing tribes are given credit for the naming of this Moon, since sturgeon, a large fish of the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water, were most readily caught during this month. A few tribes knew it as the Full Red Moon because, as the Moon rises, it appears reddish through any sultry haze. It was also called the Green Corn Moon or Grain Moon. (from this site)

The moonrise was incredible. Photos of the start of it just didn't work for some reason and maybe the awe part of it, rising deeply orange over an endless vista of desert and mountain ranges would never have been conveyed anyway. The clouds were trailing pink rain from the sunset behind us as the moon cleared the horizon, with me jumping up every 2 minutes to check in back of us for the sunset that seemed to last an hour or more. The beauty here continues to astound me.

And my time at May's is up once again. The water bottles are full, it's time to go find some shade. I'm good at that!

Have a finely free Friday! Do something fitting and fun. Happy birthday, Chris!
