Clear Skies and Good Visibility

Mountains

Since retiring in the sanctuary of the free state of Arizona, I must admit that, as a native to coastal parts of the not-too-free-state of Kalifornia, I am not used to the concept of four seasons. Well, maybe in coastal Kali we had the four seasons of rain, fog, fire and Santa Ana winds. However, here in AZ, we actually have five seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, Second Spring* and Fall.

Damsel took this image of the mountains to the north as we were driving to the discount department store and the post office. Other than when it is raining or snowing, most days are clear here (about 300 per year), with beautiful clear views of our mountains and foothills. Click on the image to enlarge.

* A period between the scorching summer temperatures and drooping fall temperatures when cacti and citrus flowers bloom.
