last summer's sunflowers

...with some weather streaming in over the Jemez.  Indeed, we've had rain this evening (ok, I know - nothing to what's been falling in LA - there's something strangely voyeuristic in looking at one's own back yard on a Ring camera to see quite how wet it is, and checking that the soil on the hill is still where we left it) - rain that will doubtless have rendered both seed heads and the surrounding land, as seen from our back yard here, a little less dessicated.
