Changing Weather | Flagstaff, AZ || October 2018

Before and after I took my trip to NYC for my sister's baby shower, I did not make too many observations.

What is clear now, however, is that the weather is shifting...Even more so than in NYC.

What I hope is that (although I do not particularly enjoy driving in the snow) the pattern that we are currently seeing with the rain and snow early in the season will continue. Last winter and autumn were incredibly dry so it would be nice if Lower Lake Mary and Mormon Lake have water in them next summer as a result of the precipitation we receive now until then.

Despite the snow and the now cold nights, there are still a few things in bloom. I was going to skip taking pictures, but then I figured it would be nice to make a note of what blooms into winter. The insects that were observed were understandably sluggish, but some of the plants were still looking relatively glorious despite their having to survive through the now freezing nights.
