Sounds like AZ. We have had an unusual cool spell, 20 degrees below normal, but
now returning to normal. Not to mention a foot in a cast.
A lot of the wild flowers have faded. Some cactus are still blooming, but the
really good news is: many of the snowbirds are migrating north. I look forward
to dramatic clouds during monsoon season.
I really like the shot though. It has a lushness that is a bit missing here in
AZ.
