The Other Arizona-The White Mountains

Hi Deanne - I have visited the Pinetop/Lakeside area - it really is beautiful!

It's also true that  AZ has the largest stand of white pine in the country!

Nice photos.....we've had so much snow this year that everywhere you look you see pine trees down. Hope you have a great day!

Good Morning Deanne,

The unique topography of our western states are very often stereotyped or at least often categorized as less than it is. The elevations through out the western states as well as the entire country give our country some of the most beautiful sights in the world. We may not have an Eiffel Tower or an ancient  Coliseum, but if nature and beauty is being sought out, we rival the world for some of the very best that can be found.

Definitely not what you expect when someone says Arizona.  Great post and great pics Deanne.  Glad you had fun. I am afraid I am in store for some winter white this week myself

Deanne, It is very pretty over in the White Mountains, I haven't been over there for years, but it is really nice!

Deanne - looks like Bethesda MD - we got 30 inches and have gone to pieces - another snow storm is coming in tomorrow with another 5 to 8 to 12 inches projected.  No food in the grocery store, no snow plows - UGH!

Deanne,

Thanks for the mention!  I reciprocated.  (...just like TLW taught me to do.)

I would not have thought that this could be Arizona with all of that snow.

Love the photos! The white clouds, blue sky, and bright white snow drifts are beautiful. But 51 inches!!? I can't even fathom that... So about how long does this "light dusting" take to melt. It looks pretty sunny in these photos.
