C/2025 A6 (comet Lemmon) just above the clouds at 19:40 this evening. While not as cloudy as yesterday, conditions are windy this evening above Anza-Borrego causing some camera shake as shown by the squiggly line from a passing satellite (Photo: Sicco Rood).

The desert is starting to show swaths of "fall colors" due to the ocotillos which got a lot of monsoon rains last month and are now turning yellow on the desert floor and bajadas of Anza-Borrego Desert (Photo: Sicco Rood).
