Welcome to week 010 of The Colorist Edit. A day late!
We’re closing out June and have officially entered the middle-of-summer territory. I have to say, the temps here in AZ, usually 110+ by now, have been surprisingly mild, and the early mornings have actually been pleasant. I better not jinx it.
If you don’t know, Arizona summers are brutal, with temperatures reaching close to 120°F in mid-July and August. It usually doesn’t drop below 100°F until the end of October, so this has been a very nice surprise.
I will say, though, as a local, there is something magical about the summer here. The dry heat, the clouds, the emptiness, and the sudden onset of wild monsoons and dust storms can sometimes feel like something out of an adventure novel.
