I hesitated to publish another post featuring sunrise photos only 3 weeks after an
earlier post on the same topic but the following photos, taken earlier this week, capture the sense of scorching heat we've been feeling during our latest heatwave.

| A long distance view from the master bedroom window, just as the sun stretches along the southeast side of the house - you can see the warm light streaming through the windows on the south side of the house through the glass insets in the front door, as well as how the sun lights up the east-facing side of the Magnolia tree |

| The sun focuses on the grass (Pennisetum advena 'Rubrum') in the mid-ground on the right and the Western Redbud tree behind it (Cercis occidentalis) |

| Pennisetum really makes the most of sunlight |
The skies are partly cloudy today. The temperature has fallen to the mid-80sF (29C) but the humidity level sits at 60%. There's a slight chance of rain but as the last rain forecasts have failed to produce measurable precipitation, I'm not counting on it.
Wherever you are, I hope your day better reflects the norms of the season.
Visit Anna at Flutter & Hum to find images that she and other participating gardeners found interesting this week.
