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.
