What a week we've had!

Here's the sandstorm that buried cars and was in a town about 20 miles from us: San Jacinto. It was taken by Rodrigo Pena of the AP wireservices and ran in our local paper. I also found that that the name of the winds "Santa Ana" used to be called "Santanas," or Devil Winds. I like that one much better.

This was the view out my study window as I graded papers--the heavy glaze of smoke colored the sun, giving an orange cast to the shadows on the floor (below).

Sun sets--orangey-red.
Moon rises: blood orange color.
