Frost in Tuscon

Believe it or not, it actually gets chilly here in Tucson occasionally. Last week the Catalina mountains and outlying areas got snow. We got lots of rain in town and woke up to a totally frosty yard. Of course I didn't think of taking pictures until after I was walking the dogs and when I got home there was only a little left. But I got a few pictures to share. The first two are on the oak tree we planted in the backyard when Isaac was born. The tree apparently thinks that it's fall...But the frost was beautiful.















The next couple of pictures show other plants with frost. The small blue flower is Electric Blue Sage which apparently thinks that it's spring. For those of us here in the Southwest, frost is a special thing, so please bear with us as we get all excited about something many of you see as no biggy. If it makes you feel better, it's back into the 70's again here.
