splotch

The Western United States has experienced an unprecedented number of wildfires in recent years, and some have ripped across the Owyhees, leaving splotches of burned land behind.

A lone splotch of orange poppies was also visible.

In visible-light imaging from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, these appeared as separate splotches.

The ball splotching into a puddle of water was Ruidiaz demonstrating how unplayable the grass field was for the Sounders’ road match Saturday against the Philadelphia Union.

Doc pulled a pen from his shirt pocket and outlined the outer edge of a fuzzy, misshapen splotch about the size of my thumb.
