Storm clouds along the eastern front range of the Sierra. That's Mono Lake in the foreground.

A black and white landscape photo of a rain squall over the foothills of a mountain range. In the foreground is sagebrush, a lake's shoreline, lake water to the right, a line of short spiky rock formations extending out into the lake. In the background are dark clouds pouring rain along a line of dark mountains. A bit of bright light is seen in the center left edge of the frame.

Removed this large Fire Salamander from the well.

It either lived there (the well is mostly dry due to a leak) or it got syphoned into it with today's heavy #rain. It was resting on top of the only bit of rock that stood above the water surface.

Any advice on how/where to release this fella? I know they need access to water so I might need to find a stream or pond of sorts in the vicinity.

Guys, the sad man is here.

This is my oc, Lusstoni. I haven't drawn him since 2021 and the first thing he does when it's finally his turn is contemplating his poor life choices, oh well.

This drawing is inspired by a song (https://youtu.be/rW4pO4Etweg?si=97_4xkZx1aEgG4be)

The breeze kicked up, blowing the clouds through the sky and fallen leaves across the road.

Perhaps there was a storm brewing, perhaps not, but either way it was worth following the road around the corner to see where it went.

We needed it—and he stood there,
feet on the dry porch, saying rain,
cloud and skyful, the sound of drumming…

The Rainmaker
by Niall Campbell

We needed it—and he stood there,
feet on the dry porch, saying rain,
cloud and skyful, the sound of drumming;

the bath trough in the garden listened,
white and bone dry, as he described
a bright wash across the dust fields,

the surest downpour, the flushed skin,
my soaked shirt, heavy as a bell.
Then off he went to the scorched fields,

humming, and weighing what we paid.
What did he say: prayer is moisture;
hope is a well—I didn’t care,

I wanted just the words from him—
what I couldn’t dare say—not there
beneath that sun, that blur of fire-sky.

My thoughts all thoughts of water, I
spun my head round—to hear the spill
of the word rain across the boards,

and nothing grew dark, nothing fell—
but something fell, and the ground took,
and something wild as garlic grew.

I love all films that start with rain:
rain, braiding a windowpane
or darkening a hung-out dress
or streaming down her upturned face…

Don Paterson
Rain

I love all films that start with rain:
rain, braiding a windowpane
or darkening a hung-out dress
or streaming down her upturned face;

one big thundering downpour
right through the empty script and score
before the act, before the blame,
before the lens pulls through the frame

to where the woman sits alone
beside a silent telephone
or the dress lies ruined on the grass
or the girl walks off the overpass,

and all things flow out from that source
along their fatal watercourse.
However bad or overlong
such a film can do no wrong,

so when his native twang shows through
or when the boom dips into view
or when her speech starts to betray
its adaptation from a play,

I think to when we opened cold
on a starlit gutter, running gold
with the neon of a drugstore sign
and I’d read into its blazing line:

forget the ink, the milk, the blood –
all was washed clean with the flood
we rose up from the falling waters
the fallen rain’s own sons and daughters

and none of this, none of this matters.

Around where we live, summers tend to be hot and dry; come August there may be a ripping thunderstorm that brings much desired water, but for the most part, the rains wait until autumn.

And how we wait for, and love, those autumn rains!
