Our First Dust Storm

On July 5th we were treated with our first dust storm.  This first picture was our first image as we walked out of the front door.  The dust was so thick that it looked like smoke coming from a massive fire in our neighborhood.
This is what we saw when we looked to the east.
This is what we saw when we looked to the west.
It was about 7:20 pm, so as you can see from this picture, the sun was still up and it would be for awhile longer.
This picture was taken in our backyard about 10 minutes after the first pictures that are shown above.  I took several pictures, but this was the only one that turned out OK.  It got pretty dark fairly quickly.
