latitude & altitude.............

...........the higher you go, the colder it gets

I'm talking about alitiude & latitude

fortunately we live a lower latitude than we ever have before
but it is a higher altitude than we ever have before

this combo makes for wonderfully variable weather in the spring time

snow closing the mountain pass this weekend and elswhere the rains are settling out the dust

& blooming............we are beginning to bloom ......finally

altho some of those poor blooms are having to survive late spring snow
which makes a great pic but it's a bit chilly on flowers & toes

so the shorts & sandals vie for attention with the boots & jeans

welcome to spring in the high desert
bring a jacket
