Thanks for posting these photos, Sharon; 488 always puts on a good show.

Nice pictures - looks like the RR has been having a wet summer. We could use some rain here in N.Tx.

Same here in SE Texas, Pete. 102 for several days now with no rain in sight. Getting awfully dry 'round here. They say it'll break later this week with some rain, but I'd rather be in Chama...

Wouldn't we all like that!
