It’s a little unusual to see the clarity of against the clouds. For the last week or so the mountains have not been so visible.

I’ve always loved them. The tallest of the peaks there is nearly a mile and a half above the valley.

That doesn’t make me feel blue at all. In fact, it made me smile. Besides, I like blue and brown together, and those grasses are just right.

The mountains were about 12 miles away. Strange what the distance does to our perception of color.

I saw something in the news a week or so ago that said there was normal snow pack up there, but the peaks don’t look as white to me as they should for this time of year.

Yes, a little chilly. Easy to see why the big bears sleep under that snow all winter!

There are a lot of cattle raised in the Mission Valley and they look very cold out in the white fields during the winter, even though they are well fed. The bears have a good strategy!

I’ve often wondered how cattle can stand the cold like that.Even if there’s no snow, I’ve seen them standing in flooded fields or ditches in icy water up to their ankles and I wonder how they can survive. I think we’re doing them a favour by turning them into steaks and roasts.

Especially the calves. Calving begins this time of year. The wild critters survive it and don’t always get all of the nourishment that they need for the cold. Amazing that they are able!

I was taking some shots of blue mountains today too, but they didn’t look anything like these. They’re beautiful. It’s amazing how much newer (geologically speaking) your mountains are than ours. Ours are worn down to just nubs of what they once were.

The blue cast of the distant mountains is much more noticeable in winter than in summer because it contrasts so much with the white foreground and it does change the mood of the picture.

Yes, it does look cold, but it really wasn’t as cold as it looked, just a little below freezing. It should be miuch colder here this time of year. Strange winter!

We sure don’t have mountains like that around here! It’s almost silly that we call ours mountains compared to yours.

Well, Camelback isn’t really big, but northern Arizona is much higher than here. A strange difference in perspective.
