From this mornings dog walk. Instead of the views from snow capped mountains down to the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, today we have the skies of southern Spain affected by the latest Sahara Dust storm...

After 2 winters with either health problems, poor snow conditions or just plain bad luck, it was nice to get back into the high Sierra Nevada again. I forgot just how much I love this environment and...
