...2020.

What a year.

This summer, the monsoon was a dud here in AZ. In fact it's been dubbed: The Nonsoon. We are well below our summer rain total average. Not only was it a dry summer, but Arizona saw the most 110 degree days and the most 115 degree days... ever. We also seemed to have a record amount of wild fires that burned a record amount of acreage in our sacred desert. It was brutal.

But, this morning, at 5am, it was 77 degrees as a began my run (down from an average low of 92 the past week). The weather is ever so slightly providing some relief, and for us Arizonans that slight change maybe indicates some positive change in the world in general as we start the downhill slide to 2021. We can only hope :)

Regardless, we have some art to create and some content to make. We will press on! (Our shutter anyway ;)
