Brown Out


Life in the desert is anthing but predictable. After just one hour of evening garden fun, I stood up and turned around to see this tan apparition approaching from the southwest. By the time I had jumped in the car, drove home and pulled into the garage (5 minutes, max), I could feel the grit on my teeth like beach sand on a hard boiled egg.
At this time of year, there is sure to be at least one dust storm per monsoon season. This version lasted about an hour and was fairly tame but I am grateful that I didn't take the bike that night!
