HOT First June Monday Walk Around The Sikes Lake Prickly Pear Desert


On this second day, a Monday, of the 2025 month of June, it was to Sikes Lake I ventured for some salubrious endorphin acquisition in an outer world heated to almost 90 degrees, as measured by the Fahrenheit method.

After several years of drought at my North Texas location, the last couple months of copious amounts of rain has caused the landscape to be a lot greener, and more colorful, than has been the case for a long time previous.

As you can see, via the above photo documentation, the Sikes Lake Desert is blooming with bright yellow Prickly Pear Cactus flowers.


Pink Evening Primrose continues to color the ground. In the above view we are looking north, at a tree's remains, a patch of wildflowers, a blue lake and a blue, cloudless sky.

Today's walk around Sikes Lake was just on the near edge of being too HOT.

As the HOT time of the years progresses, I gradually acclimate to the HEAT. Eventually 95 won't feel too oppressive. As long as humidity stays low...
