Fiery Winter

The temperatures have dropped, but flowers still bloom here at Springs Preserve in Las Vegas :)

 

 One of my all time favorites, the blanket flower, continues to bloom

 

 Some leaves still hanging on and showing some interesting colors against a grated fence

 





Warm Winter Wednesday

Perfect weather with a high of 64 degrees. This is what we Las Vegans live for. :)
