Ah, it’s March 1st, our long winter is over and spring is in the air. Along our mountain trails, greenery is making its appearance. Phoenix seems to have had a fairly wet winter which should be great for us photographers who are tired of trying to differentiate shades of brown.
Nothing New
Today finds me doing a lot of nothing besides sleeping. After the long drive home from Santa Barbara yesterday and facing an almost equally long drive tomorrow as we travel to Death Valley, I took it easy and didn’t take a single photo here in Phoenix. And so it is that I am posting a photo from this past week’s visit to the Huntington Gardens in San Marino, California.
Spring in Winter
Yes, even Southern California has winter; that is the time the grass turns brown. But this year, winter was a week in early January when the citrus crop was frozen over and destroyed, and now, two weeks later, spring is here. Caroline has flown back to Phoenix while Jutta and I stayed on and have driven north to Santa Barbara to visit my aunt and uncle for a few days.
