Description
In June we had some rare rain from the remnants of tropical storm Bill. As a result we had a couple of nice sunsets. We usually have to wait until the July monsoon storms for clouds that make for nice sunsets. This was taken from my front yard in Vail, Arizona.

Beautiful ribbons of colour throughout the sky and the spiny, prickly stalks silhouetted add drama and interest, lovely capture Jerry! LF
Jerry Bokowski replied:
Ocotillos without leaves from hot dry June look pretty stark. They did make nice silhouettes for this pic though. By August after our summer rains they leaf out in green and look great. Thank you, Malanda. Your words are always appreciated!
