Another cool rainy day in Arizona. The high was only about 55 degrees, which is cool for this part of the country. We ran some errands this morning and really did not do much this afternoon, except watch a bit of TV and take a nap. Not a good day for getting anything done. Tomorrow, we will go visit some friends in north Phoenix and take them to lunch. Then pick up some batteries for a power chair so it will be operable.
Our photo is of the basin in Big Bend National Park in Texas. I would estimate it is 15 to 20 miles across to the mountains in the background. This is a park you could spend a lot of time in, especially if you were a hiker. There are trails everywhere from 1/4 mile to several miles in the valleys as well as the mountains. Beautiful mountains that are ever changing especially late in the day as the sun is setting. The colors of the mountains change by the minute until the sun is gone and then in a few minutes it is dark and the sky is full of stars. Of course, everything is bigger in Texas, and that includes the sky and the stars.
