Nice pics!

From one of my favourite poets:

The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You’re one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
A cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
A wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you’re two months back in the middle of March.

A bluebird comes tenderly up to alight
And fronts the wind to unruffle a plume
His song so pitched as not to excite
A single flower as yet to bloom.
It is snowing a flake: and he half knew
Winter was only playing possum.
Except in color he isn’t blue,
But he wouldn’t advise a thing to blossom.

Missing some yellow. I'll make a note in the morning to grab a couple photos of the museum palo verdes in my yard.

USA is what it is because of its people.

Just people? You made no mention of the land's natural beauty.

Nature is beautiful everywhere. The people, not so much.

Nature is beautiful everywhere. The people, not so much.

I don't think people enhanced the natural beauty of the US much. Well at least we sent most of the strip mining overseas.
