Spirits of the dead ancestors are calling all to the dance. At least that’s what this looks like to me! This is an artistic rendering of dust devils on the Sonoran Desert plain at the foot of the Estrella Mountains on the Gila River Indian Reservation which is just south of Phoenix, Arizona.

Dust devils are a common sight on hot, dry days in the desert. In fact, they only form in those conditions. A pocket of hot air near the surface rises quickly through cooler air above it, causing an updraft. Then if the conditions are just right like if it’s hot enough, the updraft begins to rotate and forms a dust tornado! These precocious wind spirits move around a lot and quickly dissipate as fast as they formed. But I’ve watched some go on for along time. Some get so big, that they can shake a house! Very fun nature phenomenon to watch!
