dome + clouds
I can’t even count the number of times I drove right past the turn to Cerillos, but it’s equal to all the times I’ve driven the road, minus one: the last time there I finally made the turn. And obviously it was well worth it.

where there is smoke
I could not look away. For an entire day, no matter where I was, my eyes sought out the awful (yet strangely beautiful) smoke from nearby forest fires.
The fires were so intense that by the end of the day they would have created their own weather system, clouds known as pyrocumulonimbus, which contain lightning storms that can in turn ignite more fires. An article in Scientific American says, when you see these clouds, “you know you’ve got big trouble below.”

camera/bag
It pays off to be a keen observer. It even pays off in restrooms. Because that’s where I noticed that my purse and camera, hanging on the back of the door, actually looked photo-worthy.

takeoff
As it turned out, the bird changed its mind about being in the photo. Sometimes birds are like that, I suppose.

cityscape, Monday
If I looked one way from my hotel room balcony, I could see the Coronado Bridge and (if I squinted), I could make out the iconic towers at the Hotel Del Coronado. And looking the other way gave me this nice urban scene.
That balcony was just about the best part of the trip.
