A Tad Warmer

Swainson's Hawk
61F when Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I hit the trail this morning; hazy sunlight kept conditions comfy.

We followed our normal route, seeing no human or canines during the trek.  I did spot the Swainson's Hawk on a favorite yucca, but the only photo I got of it was from about two hundred yards away.

As you can tell from the majority of images here the Ocotillo flowers were blooming magnificently; some have begun leafing out.  A decent rain will dress them in all their best green finery.

This & next 4:  Ocotillo flowers
