The Difference a Day Makes

That's some Yucca

Although it was a bit windy and cold this morning (19 F. when we started off), it was nothing like yesterday--one of the worst weather days I can remember here in the Southwest.  Today the sun was out, and we even felt a bit warm by the time the hike was over.  We were the only clowns testing the elements around Tortugas Mountain, however.
