The buckwheat seemed especially crispy after a week and a half in the Rockies and the Berkshires

Mammatus
There were pretty much thunderstorms every afternoon in Colorado. At one point we were outside and my hair started standing up. (we jumped back into the car)
Black Canyon from Above
You could pretty much pee in the river from up here if you wanted to... but that's gross.
Black Canyon from Above
That's not a little creek, it's the Gunnison River, 1500 feet below and about 50 horizontal feet to the south.

Road to Crested Butte
This is the road to Crested Butte and Gothic. Crested Butte (the mountain) is visible to the right on this photo.
Cottonwood Pass and Storm Clouds 2
This storm was hanging over the pass, and rain was starting to fall. It was COLD too but not quite cold enough for snow.
Cottonwood Pass and Storm Clouds
There was still plenty of snow at this pass, which is over 12,000 feet. Shortly after this point the road turns to dirt.

RiverWalk in San Antonio
The RiverWalk in San Antonio was originally some kind of concrete ditch like the LA River but they fixed it up and created a flood bypass and now it looks a bit like Its A Small World, but with beer. It's not a natural riparian habitat but it's a lot nicer than a drainage ditch... and there are also some enormous Bald Cypress trees living along the river.
World Trade Bridge
This is a bizarre bridge outside of Laredo, Texas called the World Trade Bridge. I guess if you go up there it somehow leads to Mexico, but odd, since Mexico was about 5 miles away from here. It seemed utterly pointless.
Laredo
Laredo, Texas, where I visited for work last week. It looks dingier in real life than in this picture. It was also 105 degrees.
Arundo and Mexico
Arundo with Mexico in the background. Notice that the United States has healthier arundo than Mexico. This may be because on the Mexico side there are cows grazing along the river.
Heavy-looking Cumulus
When it is 105 degrees and muggy, these thick-looking clouds feel like they would fall right out of the sky and 'splat' on the ground. Instead, they blew away. This was near Laredo, TX
