We've had our winter and now we get a couple weeks that might be mistaken for spring before the heat of summer arrives. This time of year it is really great to be outside. It's not too warm, not too cool and it isn't humid. Of course it isn't a long time before the heat really hits but you've gotta live in the moment. A couple days ago I wandered around the valley looking for something new to show the world.
Here's a balloon floating along in the spring air. We have two balloon companies in the valley: one run by local people and another that is run by people who came over from Las Vegas. This is one of the local company's balloons.
Mt. Charleston kind of rules the eastern views. It's kind of funny because it is really hard to spot from Las Vegas but over here it's right there! You can see that the snow cover is going fast. The photo was take from the local Chief Tecopa Cemetery. It's kind of a funny combination of rockery and greenery with lots of military thrown in.
This next photo reminds us that we aren't in Kansas anymore! We have wild horses and burros roaming the desert and especially at night when it is cooler. But at night they can be hard to spot. Some nice people have put a few signs up to remind drivers to be careful.
Our city/county government building is situated in a kind of park area. There is a small pool, trees and grass. This attracted 3 wild horses that you can see in this photo. Unfortunately some local idiots started coming over and trying to pet them, etc. Then they had to be removed to a less comfortable area for their safety and that of the idiots who thought these wild animals were just like pets.
There are a few photos of this corner of Nevada. It's different but we call it home. BTW, if you would like to see more of my photos you can follow this link to Flickr to check them out. Please don't mis-use anything you see there but do enjoy. I sure enjoyed taking them.
Take care and keep washing those hands!
