Desert Scenes & Fresh Air

 



I went for a walk at the Desert Botanical Garden last Sunday morning and the air was so crystal clear that it made taking photos with the telephoto lens a pleasure.
















I couldn't get over how clear everything looked when I zoomed in on subjects.  


And, I could take shots across great distances and still get a clear view.  Here is the view of Camelback Mountain from the highest trail at the garden.  



I wonder if all this clear air had something to do with the low pressure system that is pushing its way east. Maybe it cleared the air while cooling it down a bit.  It was 64 degrees when I left the house.  Perfect for walking.

It looks like the fresh air has also been kind to the cactus.

A fine bluee sky it is, a bit like a Swedish blue sky.

Wonderful photos. It has really chilled down here. I turned the furnace on for the first time this morning and it's felt good today. We had a heckuva hail storm last night and very high winds all day yesterday.
