33 degrees to 18 in a flash.

Yep, we had winds gusting at 29 mph and cold.  Today, it is cloudy and 19 degrees.  Are we complaining, noooooo.  It is still better than rain. 

When the wind comes up here, it is strong enough to take the horns off bulls.  No, really, I’m serious.  lol

We have been taking our walks up and down the hills around here.  We follows the Burro trails.  Get to see neat stuff.

  1. No winds here today but certainly a little on the cool side. Cloudy all day - bad for the solar.

  2. When we were kids prowling around the desert, we called them stink bugs but I think they are actually a kind of bombardier beetle taking a defensive stance in order to spray a would-be antagonist with an acrid and unpalatble substance. The cactus are Jumping Cholla (Choya).

  4. Nice pics! Sounds like you you were lucky to avoid an unpleasant response from that Stinkbug! Weather has cooled down for us here a wee bit also. The Norther (Santa Anna winds from California) last week signals the start of the winter season... High temps of 88F and only 80 % humidity now. One more week in La Paz before we set sail to Mazatlan!
