Unusually heavy seasonal rains, boosted hugely by passage of multiple heavy-precipitation supercells in the preceding weeks, left plowed fields flooded and unusable across much of northwest Texas during mid-spring 2025. Having driven by this field in a darkly cloudy late afternoon on the way out to the Permian Basin for a chase, I noticed these furrows as a potential photo subject, hoping for another crack at them in better light. That came just a couple days later, on the way back! So did dense hordes of big, hungry Texas mosquitoes, which sent me back into the vehicle in a hurry, since I absentmindedly neglected to spray down before stomping down from the highway pulloff.
