This is a view of the Rubies Mountains near the high prairie in Nevada, still snow-covered in June 2008

This picture is impressive especially when seen in a larger size. I’d forgotten how “open” the west is until I realized that not many trees are showing, on the prairie. In New England, we have LOTS of trees and bushes and greenery. That’s one reason I was happy to move back to New Hampshire, after spending a few years in California and Arizona. Oh, sure, places there are trees there, but not like the “Granite State!”
But, isn’t the snow just so beautiful on those mountains? Patti is feeling chilly today, but here, the temperatures may have hit 80 degrees here, this afternoon. I wasn’t watching the thermometer. Funny how the weather can be so different everywhere.
Just thought you’d like to catch a glimpse of Nevada. I’ll save this photo so I can cool off on the next hot day, by just looking at the snow, and imagining that I’m cooler. Thanks for the great photo, Patti. I’d say that the new camera was well worth it!
