Texas Hill Country visual artist Dusty Pendelton captures a lone cowboy wiping his brow, heat shimmering off the land as he scans the horizon for a lost horse. It’s a fitting close to our It’s Hot Where I Live series—an image of endurance, humility, and the stubborn hope to keep looking.

Our hearts go out to everyone in the Texas Hill Country still searching and recovering from the heat-driven flooding of the Guadalupe River. May repair come quickly, and may neighbors keep showing up for one another.
