Breezy with Gusts

Experimenting with the image in the first three photos
This morning was completely different than Saturday morning on the west side of Tortugas Mountain.  First, it was Monday so the area was far less crowded.  And because it was colder with a stiff breeze occasionally slipping into a windy gust only the most hearty of outdoor enthusiasts were trekking around the mountain--enthusiasts like Becca and me.  We saw nobody nor encountered anyone during our hike even though there were a few vehicles in the Sunset Area parking lot when we got back after spending about ninety minutes in the northern Chihuahuan Desert.

Lots of air traffic this morning
