A Little Breeze, Please

This and the next:  loaded with birds right before I snapped the pic
Back at it again this morning with Dr. K, Willow and Frio.  We did our now normal trek up the long dirt road to the furthest "new" arroyo, explored the arroyo for a while, drank water, took photographs and then headed back.

Crossed paths with the archer on our way up the steep incline to our waiting CR-V.  He was just driving down in his large white Ford SUV.  He stopped and powered down his passenger window to greet us and to say he'd been waiting longer to start out so we'd have a chance to be finished with our hike when we arrived.  He said, "You got a late start this morning."  We laughed and agreed while parting company.

Then we piled into our waiting Honda for the five-minute trip home.
