There is no snow on the ski slopes at the moment but it’s beautiful up there! This photo is from about two years ago, it appears that I am on a chair heading up the mountain, but I’m not. It’s just the angle the photo was taken at with the zoom lens using the old Nikon D3300 body. The forecast up there today is 86 degrees and 111 down here!
These photos can’t show how gorgeous this sunset was, such rich colors. Today’s high temperature is forecast to be 111 degrees, that’s pretty darn hot!
I was going to delete this image but thought to drop it in iColorama first to see what can be done with it, here’s the result. This is where the fronds pop out of the trunk, just above the heart of the tree. Do trees have feelings too?
These photos were snapped yesterday in the northwest area of the valley and show the incline as you head west toward the Spring Mountains. Today’s heat is forecast at 109 and increasing to 113 by Thursday. This is dangerously hot for anyone, more so for people like me who have a compromised heart and diabetes. Stay cool, people!
Good afternoon, here are three clicks for my ride around the area this very hot afternoon. The neighborhood sign says speed hump, but all they are are very wide long speed bumps. Is the word Hump a naughty word? 😂
These are two older sunset pics and our beautiful American flag photo taken yesterday under that beautiful blue Mojave Desert sky. A sky that I never tire of. What I do tire of are the lunatics failing so terribly at running my country. Our president is very senile and should not be in office, his politics on the wrong side of the wall.
Just a few clicks for you this beautiful sunny morning in Las Vegas, it was a wonderful day yesterday and today promises 108 degrees. By mid-week the valley will see 111 to 115 degrees, this is a serious heatwave and the authorities here are putting the warning out early.
The sign in one photo states that a dog park is being built within a park. Eh? Dogs have always run around this park on a leash or not so why are they doing this? The photo of a peak with blue sky is Lone Mountain. It’s just 600 feet or so high and is a local favorite for hikers. A hike that I can’t make because of my heart and I’ve tried twice!
Stay cool wherever you are today my friends. 😎🌴
It was nice to take another joyride this very hot afternoon, windows down and feelin’ the warm summer breeze. In summer, it seems that the heat drives the nasty smog out of the valley but that’s a guess. The official temperature at this moment is 100F, just two degrees from what is forecast. I hope your weekend is going well, friends!
This guy is Charlie McCarthy, I did a little bit more processing on him this morning, now he looks like a child. 😂
The textures of the Mexican Fan Palm are nothing like the Deciduous tree. The Nikkor 24/200mm lens works pretty well as a macro lens doesn’t it? Our weather is going to heat up next week to around 112 degrees but just 97 degrees for today. There are plenty of people in Las Vegas that really do love this much heat on a daily basis.
I pass this sign occasionally and have photographed it before but my Nikon wanted another photo. This sign kinda grinds my gears since I’m three-times divorced and will remain single until the day I kick the bucket. It’s cheaper in terms of both money and one’s sanity! A girlfriend? I’ve been all by myself for five years now… It’s a peaceful life.
Anyway, I was driving to near the south end of the valley for some Ham Radio parts for my truck radio. It’s only in the low 90s today but we have a very high wind warning until 8PM this eve and man is that wind howling now!
The Stratosphere Tower is a long way away…
Nothing spectacular but still nice. After the sun sets on a 100+ degree day, the sometimes strong breeze can feel wonderful, perfect for relaxing in the backyard under dancing palm trees. Today’s forecast is for 93 degrees and sunshine, basically perfect in this Vegas Local’s opinion!
These beauties are in my backyard but they need serious pruning next month… 🌴
