Well, it’s finally happened…Summer hibernation mode. When the thermometer on the back porch is pushing 90° at 8:30 am even the fans can’t make it feel anywhere close to comfortable.

That means, for the duration of this season most call summer, my coffee muses will happen in my office staring at images that are more comforting in an environment that isn’t trying to drown me in my own sweat.

I know, not a very environmentally friendly attitude… But hey, the environment here in Texas at this time of year isn’t very friendly either. So, just to keep the tradition going, I’ll pop out each morning and take two reference shots for the day… One of the backyard and one of the thermometer. Other than that, I’m only going out into Texas summer to mow the grass or get in the car to go someplace.

I hope the weather is more hospitable where you are…
