Faint morning mist in New Mexico
This photo could hardly impress anyone who lived somewhere with humidity. Har.
But, our typical summertime humidity runs around 15 to 25% even during the monsoon season. We get a small amount of monsoon rain before moisture streams from the South dry out completely in the uplift of the Southern Rockies.
Last night we had what NOAA euphemistically calls a “trace” of rain. But, on my first walk along the fenceline with Rally I could see enough moisture had collected in a depression on the East-facing shoulder of the ancient volcano immediately across the valley of La Cieneguilla – to start a breath of mist rising.
I waited for the sunrise to reach the volcano and recorded the moment.






It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood…
