Before the intense heat of June some of the best relaxing moments are early morning awakenings in May. Watching the sun come up and listening to the awakening sounds of doves, little birds chirping and watching the Quail tripping around with their little babies which we call "tater tots"!! The animals seem to know that the cool temps. only last for a few hours before the sun rises even higher and we are all pushed indoors or to shady spots because of the intense heat that will bear down on all of us.
Snakes and lizards find rocks to help keep them cool. Our feathered friends find shade in the Mesquite and Willows to help keep them cool.
Isn't it amazing how they find water in the deadly desert heat!
We of course take to the confines of our homes with air conditioning!
How did the people ever survive without A/C years ago?
I've posted some photos of the plants, trees, shrubs and a "stick bug" that live on and on and on requiring only a small amount of rain to live and grow. Mother nature has a way of allowing for all natural habitat to survive temps of 100 - 120+ degrees!
