Contrasts

Yesterday was the coldest, bleakest day we've had this season.  It was the first time I wasn't able to wear shorts since February.  The sun broke through today and it's already ten degrees warmer.   I will be wearing my shorts again (!) to my doctor's appointment in Tucson this afternoon.

I call this time of year "change your clothes three times a day" season. When I wake up tomorrow, I expect it to be quite cold, around 32°/0°, so I will have to dress snugly.  But the sun will be out and the day will warm - so it's shorts again.  The very moment the sun sets, the temperature plummets  - and time for the third change of clothes (jeans, jacket) rolls around.

I thought this was a pretty cool sunrise; especially, as you can see in the extra, because there were pretty wisps and swirls in the sky away from the main attraction.

EDIT: I flipped the photos.  After seeing them in expanded view, I liked the shot I had used as the extra better  :-)
