In the Desert, Even the Mountains Dance for Rain

The Sandia Mountains rise to nearly 11,000 feet in
elevation; this view is from Coronado Monument,
across the Rio Grande
from my studio.
All afternoon the stormclouds
whirled and dust flew. It seemed as if the mountains were reaching up
to entice the clouds to bless us all, but there was no rain that day to
end the drought.
